Abstract: This paper proposes a novel method, a Fuzzy Feature Match (FFM) based on a triangle feature set to match the ear. The ear is represented by the fuzzy feature set. The fuzzy features set similarity is used to analyze the similarity among ears. Accordingly, a similarity vector pair is defined to illustrate the similarities between two ears. The FFM method shows the similarity vector pair to a normalized value which quantifies the overall image to image similarity. The algorithm has been evaluated with Computer Education and Training Society (CETS) students and staff members’ ear database. Experimental results confirm that the proposed FFM based on the triangle feature set is a reliable and effective algorithm for ear matching.
