Fusion of shape of the ear and tragus  A unique feature extraction method for ear authentication system
New feature of the ear tragus is used for authentication. The tragus is extracted automatically using enhancement of edge detection method. From the ear database sample the ears with occlusions are tested. Best result is obtained in the Hamming distance method. Feature fusion of the ear performs better as an efficient authentication system.
