We present results of the largest experimental investigation of 3D ear biometrics to date. ICP-based approaches are carefully explored, and the best rank one recognition rate achieves 98.8%. Only 4 cases out of 302 are incorrectly matched. This result is encouraging in that it suggests the uniqueness of the human ear and its potential applicability as a biometric.
