Abstract
Biometric-based human recognition is rapidly gaining popularity due to breaches of traditional security systems and the lowering cost of sensors. The current research trend is to use 3D data and to combine multiple traits to improve accuracy and robustness. This article comprehensively reviews unimodal and multimodal recognition using 3D ear and face data. It covers associated data collection, detection, representation, and matching techniques and focuses on the challenging problem of expression variations. All the approaches are classified according to their methodologies. Through the analysis of the scope and limitations of these techniques, it is concluded that further research should investigate fast and fully automatic ear-face multimodal systems robust to occlusions and deformations.

Expression-Invariant 3D Face Recognition Using Patched Geodesic Texture Transform
DICTA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques and ApplicationsNumerous methods have been proposed for the expression-invariant 3D face recognition, but a little attention is given to the local-based representation for the texture of the 3D images. In this paper, we propose an expression-invariant 3D face ...
Expression-invariant face recognition by facial expression transformations
In this paper, we present a method of expression-invariant face recognition that transforms input face image with an arbitrary expression into its corresponding neutral facial expression image. When a new face image with an arbitrary expression is ...
A bi-modal face recognition framework integrating facial expression with facial appearance
Among many biometric characteristics, the facial biometric is considered to be the least intrusive technology that can be deployed in the real-world visual surveillance environment. However, in facial biometric, little research attention has been paid ...
