In this paper, an ECG biometric identification method, based on a two-dimensional convolutional neural network, is introduced for biometric applications. The proposed model includes two-dimensional convolutional neural networks that work parallel and receive two different sets of 2-dimensional features as input. First, ACDCT features and cepstral properties are extracted from overlapping ECG signals. Then, these features are transformed from one-dimensional representation to two-dimensional representation by matrix manipulations. For feature learning purposes, these two-dimensional features are given to the inputs of the proposed model, separately. Finally, score level fusion is applied to identify the user. Our experimental results show that the proposed biometric identification method achieves an accuracy of %88.57 and an identification rate of 90.48% for 42 persons.
