Abstract:
An ear shape analyzer includes: a sample ear analyzer configured to generate, for each of N sample ears, an ear shape data set that represents a difference between a point group representative of a three-dimensional shape of a reference ear and a point group representative of a three-dimensional shape of one of the N sample ears; an averaging calculator configured to generate averaged shape data by averaging N ear shape data sets generated by the sample ear analyzer; an ear shape identifier configured to identify an average ear shape of the N sample ears by translating coordinates of respective points of the point group representing the three-dimensional shape of the reference ear, by using the averaged shape data.

Claim (Index 9):
The ear shape analysis method according to  claim 8 , wherein\n each of the generated ear shape data sets includes a plurality of translation vectors corresponding to respective points of a first group that is a part of the point group of the reference ear, the generated averaged shape data includes a plurality of translation vectors corresponding to the respective points of the first group, and the average ear shape is identified by generating translation vectors corresponding to respective points constituting a second group other than the first group within the point group of the reference ear by interpolation of the plurality of translation vectors included in the averaged shape data, and by translating coordinates of the respective points of the first group using the translation vectors of the averaged shape data and translating coordinates of the respective points of the second group using the translation vectors generated by the interpolation.
