Box 11099, Taif 21944, Saudi Arabia The proposed method creates an advanced Deep Residual Convolutional Neural Network (DR-CNN) for finger vein pattern recognition to enhance both accuracy and computational efficiency of the system. The framework implements DR-CNN to handle the reduction of dimensions together with feature extraction while resolving traditional CNN models' overfitting issues. This research utilizes 6,000 images from the VERA and PLUSVein FV3 and MMCBNU_6000 and UTFV databases which form 80% training data and 20% testing data. The ImageNet training includes 4 pooling layers while also using 4 fully connected layers as well as 13 convolutional layers. The DR-CNN classifier achieves optimal authentication-performance through its implementation of Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) and Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) for extracting features. A performance assessment based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) proves that DR-CNN surpasses traditional techniques. With its implementation of 5,000 images the proposed model demonstrates better accuracy (94.39%) than CNN (92.45%), RNN (88.99%) and DNN (85.91%). Tests show that the system processes 25,000 images within 2.43 milliseconds establishing fast computation speeds. DR-CNN achieves robustness through minimum mean absolute error values of 19.34. The proposed DR-CNN model delivers a 97.8% recognition rate together with a 0.83% error rate which proves its effectiveness for biometric security applications. 2025 90 113 3820 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/FPA.200108 https://americaspg.com/journal/3/article/3820 https://americaspg.com/storage/31745451046.pdf
