In this paper, a method to recognize human using ear biometrics has been proposed. Traditional image-based approaches to person identification almost exclusively employ front views of the individual's face. Ear on the other hand, has a more uniform distribution of color, so almost all information is conserved when converting the original image into gray scales. When employing face or lip as a biometric, changing of their appearance with the expression of the subject creates problem but in case of ear the shape and appearance is fixed. We extract the features from an ear image by measuring geometric relations between predetermined points (lengths, angles). Here, the geometrical structures observed from pixel value distances are used for the successful recognition of objects. Recognition of objects is based on these geometrical structures. Experimental result reveals that the proposed identification method can achieve almost 89% accuracy. The complexity of this process is less since the method does not require to consider the inner boundary of ear.
