<br/><br/> The thesis presents an efficient technique for automatic ear detection from side face images. Two new features for ear detection: the first represents elongation and is expressed by the ratio between the boundary's width and height. The second describes compactness and is given by the ratio between the number of pixels composing the boundary's area and the number of pixels composing its perimeter
