An Evaluation of Face and Ear Biometrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face recognition based on principal component analysis is a heavily researched topic in computer vision. The ear has been proposed as a biometric, with claimed advantages over the face. We have applied the PCA approach to images of the face and ear using the same set of subjects. Testing wass done with three different gallery/probe combinations. For faces we have: 1) probes of same day but different expression, 2) probes of a different day but similar expression, and 3) probes of different day and different expression. Analogously, for ears, we have: 1) probes of same day but other ear, 2) probes of a different day but same ear, and 3) probes of different day and other ear. Results indicate that the face provides a more reliable biometric than the ear.

متن کاملHuman Ear Detection from 3d Side Face Range Images
Ear is a new class of relatively stable biometrics which is not affected by facial expressions, cosmetics and eye glasses. To use ear biometrics for human identification, ear detection is the first part of an ear recognition system. In this chapter we propose two approaches for locating human ears in side face range images: (a) template matching based ear detection and (b) ear shape model based...

This paper proposes a multimodal biometric system through Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for face and ear biometrics with belief fusion of the estimated scores characterized by Gabor responses and the proposed fusion is accomplished by Dempster-Shafer (DS) decision theory. Face and ear images are convolved with Gabor wavelet filters to extracts spatially enhanced Gabor facial features and Gabor e...
