%X Finger vein recognition methods, as emerging biometric technologies, have attracted increasing attention in identity verification due to their high accuracy and live detection capabilities. However, as privacy protection awareness increases, traditional centralized finger vein recognition algorithms face privacy and security issues. Federated learning, a distributed training method that protects data privacy without sharing data across endpoints, is gradually being promoted and applied. Nevertheless, its performance is severely limited by heterogeneity among datasets. To address these issues, this paper proposes a dual-decoupling personalized federated learning framework for finger vein recognition (DDP-FedFV). The DDP-FedFV method combines generalization and personalization. In the first stage, the DDP-FedFV method implements a dual-decoupling mechanism involving model and feature decoupling to optimize feature representations and enhance the generalizability of the global model. In the second stage, the DDP-FedFV method implements a personalized weight aggregation method, federated personalization weight ratio reduction (FedPWRR), to optimize the parameter aggregation process based on data distribution information, thereby enhancing the personalization of the client models. To evaluate the performance of the DDP-FedFV method, theoretical analyses and experiments were conducted based on six public finger vein datasets. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms centralized training models without increasing communication costs or privacy leakage risks.
