Using Ear Biometrics for Personal Recognition

摘要

Application and research of ear recognition technology is a new subject in the field of biometrics recognition. Earlier research showed that human ear is one of the representative human biometrics with uniqueness and stability. Feasibility and characteristics of ear recognition was discussed and recent advances in 2D and 3D domain was presented. Furthermore, a proposal for future research topics was given, such as ear database generation, ear detection, ear occluding problem and multimodal biometrics with face etc.
