Biometric traits gradually proved their importance in real-life applications, especially in identification field. Among the available biometric traits, the unique shape of the human ear has also received loads of attention from scientists through the years. Hence, numerous ear-based approaches have been proposed with promising performance. With these methods, plenty problems can be solve by the distinctiveness of ear features, such as recognizing human with mask or diagnose ear-related diseases. As a complete identification system requires an effective detector for real-time application, and the current richness and variety of ear detection algorithms are poor due to the small and complex shape of human ears. In this paper, we introduce a new human ear detection pipeline based on the YOLOv3 detector. A well-known face detector named RetinaFace is also added in the detection system to narrow the regions of interest and enhance the accuracy. The proposed method is evaluated on an unconstrained dataset, which shows its effectiveness.

Biometric is one of the growing fields used in security, forensic and surveillance applications. Various types of physiological and behavioral biometrics are available today. Human ear is a passive physiological biometric. Ear is an important biometric trait due to many advantages over other biometric modalities. Because of its complex structure, face image detection is very challenging. Detection deals with finding or localizing the position of ear in the given profile face image. Various methods like manual, semiautomatic and automatic techniques are used for ear detection. Automatic ear localization is a complex process compared to manual ear cropping. This paper presents an empirical study and evaluation of four different existing ear detection techniques with our proposed method based on banana wavelets and circular Hough transform. A comparative analysis of the five algorithms in terms of detection accuracy is presented. The detection accuracy was calculated by means of manual as well as automatic verification.
