Fusion of shape of the ear and tragus – A unique feature extraction method for ear authentication system
作者：
Highlights：
• New feature of the ear tragus is used for authentication.
• The tragus is extracted automatically using enhancement of edge detection method.
• From the ear database sample the ears with occlusions are tested.
• Best result is obtained in the Hamming distance method.
• Feature fusion of the ear performs better as an efficient authentication system.
