Abstract :
In this paper, a relatively new form of biometrics - ear biometrics - is introduced and compared with popular forms of biometrics such as face and fingerprint. A review of the leading works including those, which appear in the research world very lately, is given. In the end, a proposal for possible future research directions is discussed.
