+# Ear Detection - 14,000+ Images
+The dataset comprises **14,000+** ear images from **2,000** unique individuals, paired with reference face photos and demographic labels. Designed for **ear recognition** and **biometric identification**, it helps research in **human ear detection**, **recognition accuracy**, and **biometric systems**.
