Out line Introduction Anatomy of Ear Innarelli system Burge and Burger PCA Hurley, Nixon and Carter Akkermans, Kenvenaar and Schobben Conclusion
Introduction • Why Ear? • Stable structure • Predictable change with age • It’s fixed position • Collection hygiene issues • Unlikely to cause anxiety
Innarelli System • Used for forensic in 1949, USA • Specified distances • Race • Sex
Burge and Burger Neighbor Graph Matching, 1998 Ear print VoronoiDiagram Neighbor Graph
Burge and Burger • Improving FAR Still is not practical! • Ear description is unstable • Detected edges were occluded parts rather than surface discontinuities • Occlusion with hair • Thermogram
Principle Component Analysis Basis elements in a Vector space
Principle Component Analysis Implementation Recognition rate of 98.4% on a data set of 252 ear images
Hurley, Nixon and Carter Force Field Transform, 2005
Hurley, Nixon and Carter Force Field Transforms: Invertible transforms
Hurley, Nixon and Carter • Sample • Promising results on small database
Akkermans, Kenvenaar and Schobben • Acoustic Ear Recognition, 2005 • Correlation of emitted and reflected wave • Applicable on headphones or modified mobile phones • 31 and 17 samples, respectively
Conclusion Summary
What else… • Sample of 3D ear biometric • Iterative Closest Point
