In the last decade, biometric-based authentication has become more prevalent than traditional approaches like passwords and pins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ear recognition has gained attention in the biometric community in recent years. Researchers defined several features for the identification of a person from ear image. The features play a vital role in the success of classification models. This paper considers an ensemble of features for designing a new classification model. The features are assessed in isolation as well as through feature-level fusion.&nbsp; Subsequently, a rank-level fusion for classification is introduced. The experiments are conducted on both constrained and unconstrained ear datasets. The results are promising and open up new possibilities in machine learning-based ear recognition</p> ER -
