Ear Detection and Localization with Convolutional Neural Networks in Natural Images and Videos.

[EN]The difficulty in precisely detecting and locating an ear within an image is the first step to tackle in an ear-based biometric recognition system, a challenge which increases in difficulty when working with variable photographic conditions. This is in part due to the irregular shapes of human e...
