Zusammenfassung: | ► Knee acceleration is proposed for biometric characterization of gait patterns. ► Features of knee acceleration signals are extracted automatically. ► Features are classified using a multiple-template method. ► Experimental results demonstrate flexibility and accuracy for gait recognition.
A novel gait recognition method for biometric applications is proposed. The approach has the following distinct features. First, gait patterns are determined via knee acceleration signals, circumventing difficulties associated with conventional vision-based gait recognition methods. Second, an automatic procedure to extract gait features from acceleration signals is developed that employs a multiple-template classification method. Consequently, the proposed approach can adjust the sensitivity and specificity of the gait recognition system with great flexibility. Experimental results from 35 subjects demonstrate the potential of the approach for successful recognition. By setting sensitivity to be 0.95 and 0.90, the resulting specificity ranges from 1 to 0.783 and 1.00 to 0.945, respectively. |
