Robust Ear Recognition Using Gradient Ordinal Relationship Pattern

چکیده
A reliable personal recognition based on ear biometrics is highly in demand due to its vast application in automated surveillance, law enforcement etc. In this paper a robust ear recognition system is proposed using gradient ordinal relationship pattern. A reference point based normalization is proposed along with a novel ear transformation over normalized ear, to obtain robust ear representations. Ear samples are enhanced using a local enhancement technique. Later a dissimilarity measure is proposed that can be used for matching ear samples. Two publicly available ear databases IITD and UND-E are used for the performance analysis. The proposed system has shown very promising results and significant improvement over the existing state of the art ear systems. The proposed system has shown robustness against small amount of illumination variations and affine transformations due to the virtue of ear transformation and tracking based matching respectively.

Robust Encoding of Local Ordinal Measures: A General Framework of Iris Recognition
The randomness of iris pattern makes it one of the most reliable biometric traits. On the other hand, the complex iris image structure and various sources of intra-class variations result in the difficulty of iris representation. Although diverse iris recognition methods have been proposed, the fundamentals of iris recognition have not a unified answer. As a breakthrough of this problem, we fou...
متن کاملLocal gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition
Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...

متن کاملAn ensemble of patch-based subspaces for makeup-robust face recognition
Recent research has demonstrated the negative impact of makeup on automated face recognition. In this work, we introduce a patch-based ensemble learning method, which uses multiple subspaces generated by sampling patches from before-makeup and after-makeup face images, to address this problem. In the proposed scheme, each face image is tessellated into patches and each patch is represented by a...
