Currently, personal identification based on biometric parameters is one of the fastest growing areas. Systems developed based on biometric parameters are widely used in access control systems, electronic payments, forensics and a number of other areas. Therefore, the demand for personal identification systems based on biometric parameters is increasing day by day. Currently, we can cite biometric parameters such as facial images, fingerprints, ears, irises as examples of widely used biometric parameters. Methods and algorithms for identifying a person by ear images occupy an important place among biometric technologies. As it turned out, the accuracy and reliability of personal identification systems based on ear images are superior to other types of biometric technologies. Biometric technology based on personal identification based on this technology has several advantages over other biometric technologies. Firstly, unlike the human face, the ear practically does not change throughout a person’s life and depending on his mental state. Secondly, unlike biometric technologies based on the pupil of the eye, no complex devices other than a simple camera are required to obtain an image of the ear. From this it can be concluded that biometric technologies based on the image of the ear have good prospects. Nevertheless, the development of algorithms for identifying a person based on the image of the ear and its application in practical issues have not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, the issue of identifying a person based on the image of the ear is in the focus of attention of world scientists. The article proposes the use of a local binary character separation algorithm in combination with a Gabor filter in the development of a recognition system based on the image of the ear. This proposed work can be used in recognition systems based on biometric parameters.
