Ear Recognition Using Wavelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ear is a new comer in biometric recognition techniques. Various methods have been employed for ear recognition to improve the performance and making the results comparable with other existing methods. In continuation to these efforts, a new ear recognition method is proposed. Ear images are cropped manually from the side head images. After that wavelet transform is used for feature extraction and matching is carried out using Euclidean distance. Results achieved by using the proposed method are up to 94.3%.

Shaped Wavelets for Curvilinear Structures for Ear Biometrics
One of the most recent trends in biometrics is recognition by ear appearance in head profile images. Determining the region of interest which contains the ear is an important step in an ear biometric system. To this end, we propose a robust, simple and effective method for ear detection from profile images by employing a bank of curved and stretched Gabor wavelets, known as banana wavelets. A 1...
متن کاملUnified 3D face and ear recognition using wavelets on geometry images
As the accuracy of biometrics improves, it is getting increasingly hard to push the limits using a single modality. In this paper, a unified approach that fuses threedimensional facial and ear data is presented. An annotated deformable model is fitted to the data and a geometry image is extracted. Wavelet coefficients are computed from the geometry image and used as a biometric signature. The m...
متن کاملRobust Ear Recognition via Nonnegative Sparse Representation of Gabor Orientation Information
Orientation information is critical to the accuracy of ear recognition systems. In this paper, a new feature extraction approach is investigated for ear recognition by using orientation information of Gabor wavelets. The proposed Gabor orientation feature can not only avoid too much redundancy in conventional Gabor feature but also tend to extract more precise orientation information of the ear...
متن کاملPersonal Identification Using Ear Recognition
Biometric authentication for personal identification is very popular now a days. Human ear recognition system is a new technology in this field. The change of appearance with the expression was a major problem in face biometrics but in case of ear biometrics the shape and appearance is fixed. That is why it is advantageous to use it for personal identification. In this paper, we have proposed a...
متن کاملEar Authentication using Log-Gabor Wavelets
This paper investigates a new approach for human ear identification using holistic grey-level information. We employ Log-Gabor wavelets to extract the phase information, i.e. ear-codes, from the 1D gray-level signals. Thus each ear is represented by a unique ear code or (phase template). The query ear images are compared with those in the database using Hamming distance. The minimum Hamming dis...
