Ear print

 

The human being is born and grows and everything is changing in him except Ear print. This unique print doesn't change from born to death.

The ear print is not a new discovery in human prints in the world of criminal investigation. It was used to identify criminals in the early twentieth century, before the use of fingerprints. The thieves often try to put their ears on doors or windows to check that house owners are sleep or not available. This leaves an ear print on the door or window. With the current difficulties in reaching criminals through fingerprints, some countries get back to use ear print in crime detection. Britain has worked in this system in 15% of the crimes, as well as Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium. A group of British scientists have developed a new computer system that allowed the identification of ear prints and match them very quickly, instead of the manual way.

Ears differ from person to other in its shape, size and juts. There is a method used to verify the ear prints. It looks like a telephone receiver. It is placed over the ear to get the image. This machine has a lighting system and a camera inside. The ear print is divided into 8 parts.
