Description

In this process, the ear biometrics has been used for gender classification and authentication system. Identifying a person and classifying as male or female is an interesting problem and is required in many practical applications. The earhole has been considered as the primary reference point to detect the person. Hence the features are taken and Relative distances (Euclidean distance) have been measured between the ear identification points (ear features) and the ear hole. The ear features considered are outer lobe edge, outer and inner curves of the helix, and edges. We have used a dataset of both male and female for the classification.
