Abstract

An algorithm is proposed that improves the robustness of ear biometric systems with the aim of developing a surveillance system based on ear biometrics. To deal with pose variations that are rotated in field depth, the Gabor jets of different poses are estimated and used as training data for a discriminant analysis-based classifier. Experimental evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and the potential for improving the robustness of a single-view-based ear-biometric surveillance system.
