description Radio frequency (RF) technology has been applied to enable advanced behavioral sensing in human-computer interaction. Due to its device-free sensing capability and wide availability on Internet of Things devices. Enabling finger gesture-based identification with high accuracy can be challenging due to low RF signal resolution and user heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose MeshID, a novel RF-based user identification scheme that enables identification through finger gestures with high accuracy. MeshID significantly improves the sensing sensitivity on RF signal interference, and hence is able to extract subtle individual biometrics through velocity distribution profiling (VDP) features from less-distinct finger motions such as drawing digits in the air. We design an efficient few-shot model retraining framework based on first component reverse module, achieving high model robustness and performance in a complex environment. We conduct comprehensive real-world experiments and the results show that MeshID achieves a user identification accuracy of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>95.17</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> on average in three indoor environments. The results indicate that MeshID outperforms the state-of-the-art in identification performance with less cost.
