Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a two-dimensional (2-D) side view face image of a person, identifying a bounded portion or area of the 2-D side view face image of the person as an ear region-of-interest (ROI) area showing at least a portion of an ear of the person, and processing the identified ear ROI area of the 2-D side view face image, pixel-by-pixel, through a trained fully convolutional neural network model (FCNN model) to predict a 2-D ear saddle point (ESP) location for the ear shown in the ear ROI area. The FCNN model has an image segmentation architecture.
