Ear Recognition using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since last 10 years, various methods have been used for ear recognition. This paper describes the automatic localization of an ear and it’s segmentation from the side poses of face images. In this paper, authors have proposed a novel approach of feature extraction of iris image using 2D Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (2D-DT-CWT) which provides six sub-bands in 06 different orientations, as against three orientations in DWT. DT-CWT being complex, exhibits the property of shift invariance. Ear feature vectors are obtained by computing mean, standard deviation, energy and entropy of these six sub-bands of DT-CWT and three sub-bands of DWT. Canberra distance and Euclidian distance are used for matching. This method is implemented and tested on two image databases, UND database of 219 subjects from the University of Notre Dame and own database created at MCTE, of 40 subjects which is also used for online ear testing of system for access control at MCTE. False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR), Equal Error Rate (EER) and Receiver’s Operating Curve (ROC) are compiled at various thresholds. The accuracy of recognition is achieved above 97 %.

Multiscale texture classification using dual-tree complex wavelet transform
This paper presents a multiscale texture classifier that exploits the Gabor-like properties of the dual-tree complex wavelet transform, shift invariance and 6 directional subbands at each scale, and uses a feature vector comprising of a variance and an entropy at different scales of each of the directional subbands. Experimental results demonstrate its robustness against noise and a higher clas...
متن کاملFace Recognition Using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform
We propose a novel face recognition using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT), which is used to extract features from face images. The Complex Wavelet Transform is a tool that uses a dual tree of wavelet filters to find the real and imaginary parts of complex wavelet coefficients. The DT-CWT is, however, less redundant and computationally efficient. CWT is a relatively recent enhancemen...
متن کاملIris Recognition Using Dual tree complex transform
A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. Unlike other biometric such as fingerprints, hand geometry and face recognition, the distinct aspect of iris comes from randomly distributed features. Iris recognition is regarded as the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system availabl...
