Abstract
This article presents an Industry 4.0 compliant ear biometric recognition technique using dense convolutional network (DenseNet), a well-known convolutional neural network model. Compared to other biometric traits, ear recognition has been a challenge due to the unavailability of a large number of images and, therefore, the improvements due to deep learning application are still unexplored. Additionally, ear biometrics has the natural advantage of privacy preservation through excellent feature encoding, which is not yet explored. In this article, the performance of DenseNet is initially tested on typically challenging benchmarks, such as street view house numbers, Canadian Institute for advanced research, and ImageNet, achieving state-of-the-art results and requiring minimal computation time and memory. All the experiments are performed on six popular ear databases namely mathematical analysis of images, annotated web ears (AWE), extended AWE (AWE-X), computer vision laboratory ear (CVLE), Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi, and West Pomeranian University of Technology, indicating that the proposed algorithm achieves a better performance over state-of-the-art. Due to less trainable parameters and fast processing, this Industry 4.0 compliant proposed recognition method can be widely used over Internet of Biometric Things, ensuring the privacy preservation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
