Abstract
When only one sample per person (OSPP) is registered in the gallery, it is difficult for ear recognition methods to sufficiently and effectively reduce the search range of the matching features, thus resulting in low computational efficiency and mismatch problems. A 3D ear biometric system using OSPP is proposed to solve this problem. By categorising ear images by shape and establishing the corresponding relationship between keypoints from ear images and regions (regional cluster) on the directional proposals that can be arranged to roughly face the ear image, the corresponding keypoints are obtained. Then, ear recognition is performed by combining corresponding keypoints and a multi-keypoint descriptor sparse representation classification method. The experimental results conducted on the University of Notre Dame Collection J2 dataset yielded a rank-1 recognition rate of 98.84%; furthermore, the time for one identification operation shared by each gallery subject was 0.047 ms.
