An Effective 3D Ear Acquisition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human ear is a new feature in biometrics that has several merits over the more common face, fingerprint and iris biometrics. It can be easily captured from a distance without a fully cooperative subject. Also, the ear has a relatively stable structure that does not change much with the age and facial expressions. In this paper, we present a novel method of 3D ear acquisition system by using triangulation imaging principle, and the experiment results show that this design is efficient and can be used for ear recognition.

3D Ear Identification Based on Sparse Representation
Biometrics based personal authentication is an effective way for automatically recognizing, with a high confidence, a person's identity. Recently, 3D ear shape has attracted tremendous interests in research field due to its richness of feature and ease of acquisition. However, the existing ICP (Iterative Closet Point)-based 3D ear matching methods prevalent in the literature are not quite effic...
متن کاملThe Use of 3d Scanning and Rapid Prototyping in Medical Engineering
New cost effective scanning and modeling techniques are used today to process data acquisition and 3D reconstruction in order to fabricate prostheses and orthoses by 3D printing. Paper approaches two scanning and 3D modeling techniques used in order to fabricate orthoses and prostheses. In this study, an artificial prosthetic ear was produced through 3D printing using two scanning techniques: s...
متن کاملCamera Arrangement in Visual 3D Systems using Iso-disparity Model to Enhance Depth Estimation Accuracy
In this paper we address the problem of automatic arrangement of cameras in a 3D system to enhance the performance of depth acquisition procedure. Lacking ground truth or a priori information, a measure of uncertainty is required to assess the quality of reconstruction. The mathematical model of iso-disparity surfaces provides an efficient way to estimate the depth estimation uncertainty which ...
متن کاملEffect of replacing cochlea contour with inner ear contour on cochlea dose-volume calculations in conventional 2 dimensional and conformal 3 dimensional radiotherapy of brain
Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the possible complications of radiotherapy treatment of brain tumors. The auditory system of patients with brain tumors often is placed inside of radiation field and receives a significant amount of radiation dose resulting in hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to compare contouring and delivery dose to cochlea...
متن کاملHigh-resolution in utero 3D MR imaging of inner ear microstructures in fetal sheep.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Developmental inner ear abnormalities can occur due to embryopathies as well as in the context of syndromal diseases like the CHARGE association. In severe cases, an early and definite in utero diagnosis is important for decision-making; here, fetal MR imaging can be a helpful tool. We present results of performing high-resolution MR imaging of the inner ear structures of...
