新技术: 机场安检竟扫描耳朵
　　最新机场安检身份识别手段还是会让您“大跌眼镜”, “耳朵”有望替换“指纹”在机场得到应用。
　　You've heard of finger printing, passport photos and eye recognition - but the latest airport security measures could see your EARS being scanned to prove your identity. Researchers have discovered that every person has uniquely-shaped ears and have formulated a way to scan them to compare them with images already compiled in a database.
　　身份识别方法让您眼花缭乱, 什么指纹识别、 护照照片识别、 眼睛识别等等, 不过最新机场安检身份识别手段还是会让您“大跌眼镜”, “耳朵”有望替换“指纹”成为另外一个身份判定方法在机场得到应用。教授分析, 因人“耳朵”含有独一无二特征, 研究人缘依据“因人而异耳朵”发明了一套扫描系统来进行身份识别。
　　This latest idea in biometrics could supplement other security techniques like iris scanning already being employed to combat the threat of terrorism and illegal immigration.
　　科技发达, 让身份识别技术更新快速, 我们依据生物测定学发明了“虹膜身份认证”来应对当今反恐形式。
　　He explained: 'There are a whole load of structures in the ear that you can use to get a set of measurements that are unique to an individual. 'With biometrics, a lot of the problems is what happens when people get old. With facial recognition, the systems are often confused by crows' feet and other signs of ageing. 'Your ears, however, age very gracefully.'The UK Passport Service has been trialling facial recognition technology at London Stansted Airport for the past two years along with retina scanning. Another problem with facial recognition is that software can only cope with an unchanged neutral facial expression and struggles with happy or sad faces, or even make-up.
　　研究责任人表示, 面部识别技术方法有不尽如人意一面, 也就是人伴随年纪增加, 会变老, 脸上皱纹会影响机器识别。不仅如此, 即使脸上皱纹没有改变多少, 您在做“面部识别”时候, 表情是快乐? 还是难过? 或者化妆是否都能影响机器面部识别呢。然而人耳朵就不一样了, 研究显示, 人耳朵伴随年纪改变改变十分缓慢, 也就是说, 耳朵衰老特征表现得不显著。这个特质就大大地方面身份识别机器应用呢。
　　Researchers say ear scans are as individual as fingerprints and could be added to biometric chips in the new generation British passports However, the ear scan system is apparently 99.6 per cent accurate.
　　有统计显示, 耳朵识别身份方法能达成99.6正确率, 如此高正确率着实令人欣喜。
