A Survey Paper on Human Identification using Ear Biometrics

9 Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Pvt. Ltd. Abstract— Human identification is about verifying a people for accessing information or permitting to enter in a restricted zone. Using ear as biometric tool has benefits involved in it; subjects never participate actively in the identification or verification process. Ear biometric finds its applications in the crime investigation, stopping ATM fraudulent and prevention of small baby swapping and mixing them in hospitals. This paper gives a detailed overview of different technical approaches that have been implemented for identifying subjects. Our survey provides good future prospects for the upcoming researchers in the field of ear biometric.
