Biometrics refers to the metrics of the human characteristics which has gained much popularity in recent times. It is a form of identification and access control. Widely used forms of biometrics are facial recognition, finger print recognition, iris recognition, etc. but the drawback is that most of these features change over time. The human ear is a cogent source of data to classify biometrically since its attributes do not change substantially as time progresses. This paper explores the field of ear biometric wherein the database images are re-sized to 128 x 256 pixels and then converted to grayscale image. Various transforms viz. Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform are then applied to extract the features. The coefficients of the test image are compared with the coefficients of the registered database image. On comparison, Euclidean distance classifier is used to recognize the test image from the database. The database used consists of 25 subjects with 6 images per person out of which the initial 4 images are used to train the model, and the remaining 2 for testing. The outputs of various transforms were compared and the best accuracy obtained is 86% using Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Abstract In recent years, the preservation of handwritten historical documents and scripts archived by digitized images has been gradually emphasized. However, the selection of different thicknesses of the paper for printing or writing is likely to make the content of the back page seep into the front page. In order to solve this, a cost-efficient document image system is proposed. In this system, the authors use Adaptive Directional Lifting-Based Discrete Wavelet Transform to transform image data from spatial domain to frequency domain and perform on high and low frequencies, respectively. For low frequencies, the authors use local threshold to remove most background information. For high frequencies, they use modified Least Mean Square training algorithm to produce a unique weighted mask and perform convolution on original frequency, respectively. Afterward, Inverse Adaptive Directional Lifting-Based Discrete Wavelet Transform is performed to reconstruct the four subband images to a resulting image with original size. Finally, a global binarization method, Otsu’s method, is applied to transform a gray scale image to a binary image as the output result. The results show that the difference in operation time of this work between a personal computer (PC) and Raspberry Pi is little. Therefore, the proposed cost-efficient document image system which performed on Raspberry Pi embedded platform has the same performance and obtains the same results as those performed on a PC.
