ABSTRACT
Due to an ever-growing need to automatically authenticate individuals, biometrics remained an active field of research over the course of the last decade. Biometric has been proved to be a reliable means of enforcing constraint in a security sensitive environment. Identifying the people through their ear is the emerging trend in the modern era. Human ear is the unique and clearly visible trait that is permanent for his/her lifetime. The increasing age of human being affects very less on the ear. Detection and recognition are the two major components of an automatic biometrics system. Ear detection is a critical component since the errors in this stage can undermine the utility of the biometric system. This paper provides a detailed survey of research conducted in ear detection and recognition. It provides an up-to-date review of the existing literature revealing the current state-of-art for not only those who are working in this area but also for those who might wish to exploit this new approach.
