Abstract:In this paper, a new ear anatomy feature edge extraction method based on Hessian matrix is proposed. Stable edge is obtained from principal curvature image across scale space. Firstly, the side face image that includes an ear is filtered and forms Gaussian pyramid. Secondly, the 2D gray image in the pyramid was regarded as a surface, maximum and minimum principal curvature and their direction were calculated by using Hessian matrix, and principal curvature image was formed. The characteristic of surface is tha… Show more
