Human Ear Biometric Authentication System

The ear, as a biometric, has been given less attention, while comparing with other biometrics such as fingerprint, face, Iris. Since it is a relatively new biometric, no commercial applications involving ear recognition are available. Intensive research in this field is thus required to determine the feasibility of this biometric. In medical field, especially in case of accidents and death, where face of patients cannot be recognized, the use of ear can be helpful. In this work, yet another method of recognizing people through their ears is presented.
