Abstract
Biometric authentication using human ear is a recent trend in security applications including access control, user recognition, surveillance, forensic, and border security systems. This paper aims to propose a fast and robust authentication scheme using ear biometric. In this work, a fast technique based on the AdaBoost algorithm is used to detect the ear of the user from profile images. An efficient stereo matching algorithm is used to match the user’s ear data (probe) to the previously enrolled (stored) ear data in a gallery database for verification and recognition. Correspondences are established between extracted features of the probe and gallery image sequences. The performance of the recognition approach is evaluated on different standard ear datasets and compared with other techniques. Experimental results suggest the superiority of the proposed approach over other popular techniques reported in this work.
