UK biometric explore new invention: the human ear scanning system.

<P> Daily e-mail messages, according to the British, the latest study found that the shape of human ears and fingerprints, etc., as can the identity of expert witnesses, and this technology can be used for airport customs. .</ P> <P> researchers found that the human ear has a unique shape, they have created a system that can scan the human ear. .After the scan results with the human ear shape of the database for comparison, and then determine the person's identity. .When people go through customs, when the scanning system will be photographed pictures of the human ear. .</ P> <P> Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science, the study leader Professor Mark Nixon said: "Since the human ear has a complex structure and these features are unique, so to develop a measurement program ., we can determine the identity of this person. "" Biometrics is the biggest problem of an age. such as face recognition, when there are many signs of old age, such as crow's feet, the system identification is likely to go wrong. "</ P .> <P> "The biggest feature of the human ear is not too obvious aging. In addition to the increase with age, the ears will grow accordingly, will be elongated ear lobes, and other features to the basic shape of the birth." and .In contrast, other biometric identification methods such as either vulnerable age causes an error, or difficult to use. .Such as face recognition software, as man is prone to errors of different expressions, which requires people remained expressionless, and sometimes even make-up can lead to recognition errors. .</ P> <P> British passport service center since 2008, the airport in Standsted experimented with face recognition systems, they also have use of retinal scanning, but this requires a close look into the scanner. .The ear is to use a scanning technique called ray image transform techniques, it can scan the ear of the tubular structures and measurement data recorded. .And this scanner is also extremely easy, only need to put a security camera on the door, when the passengers through the security door under the camera to take pictures of their ears. .</ P> <P> now have a British passport holder of the chip contains the biological information, it can also add the information to the human ear up. .Professor Nixon and his team of 252 is not painful to the ears of the test images, the system can scan the ear with a separate image for each match up, the accuracy rate of 99%. ."Fingerprint recognition is the identification of the best means of identity, but for some people, sometimes wrong. Such as the baker and brick maker, the unique spiral their fingers worn away so the result is likely to finger is not obvious. ."</ P> <P>" But the human ear would not have such a problem, the only possible interference is the hair. Of course, in reality, might not only one way to identify, is likely to be a variety of biological .Identifying the same time to determine the identity of the passengers. "</ P> <P> </ P>.
