Journal ArticleDOI
Force field feature extraction for ear biometrics
TL;DR: This work confirms not only that ears do indeed appear to have potential as a biometric, but also that the new approach is well suited to their description, being robust especially in the presence of noise, and having the advantages that the ear does not need to be explicitly extracted from the background.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force Field Energy Functionals for Image Feature Extraction
TL;DR: A novel force field transformation has been developed in which the image is treated as an array of Gaussian attractors that act as the source of a force field, and shows promising results in automatic ear recognition.
Book ChapterDOI
The ear as a biometric
TL;DR: It is shown that the ear has unique security advantages over other biometrics, and supports not only visual and forensic recognition but also acoustic recognition at the same time, ensuring that it will occupy a special place in situations requiring a high degree of protection.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automatic ear recognition by force field transformations
TL;DR: A novel force field transformation has been developed in which the image is treated as an array of Gaussian attractors that act as the source of a force field to meet the objective in the context of ear biometrics.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new force field transform for ear and face recognition
TL;DR: A novel force field transformation has been developed in which the image is treated as an array of Gaussian attractors that act as the source of a force field to meet the objective in the context of ear and face biometrics.
