Within the biometric industry, computerized person identification using ear pictures is a hot topic. The ear, like other biometrics like the face, iris, and fingerprints, contains a huge number of particular and unique traits that may be used to identify a person. Due to the mask-wearing scenario, most face detection methods fail in this present international COVID-19 pandemic. The eardrum is a great data source for inactive person authentication since it doesn't necessitate the person we're attempting to pinpoint to cooperate, and the structure of the ear doesn't change significantly over time.. The acquisition of a human ear is also simple because the ear is apparent even while wearing a mask. An ear biometric system can enhance other biometric technology in an automated person identification system by giving authentication cues when other information is unreliable or even missing. We provide a six-layer deep convolutional architecture for ear identification in this paper. On the IITD ear dataset, the deep network's potential efficiency is assessed. The IITD has a detection performance of 97.36 percent for the deep network model and 96.99 percent for the IITD. When paired with a competent surveillance system, this approach can be beneficial in identifying people in a large crowd. Keywords: Biometrics, Person identification, IIT-D, Deep learning, Ear dataset
