Understanding Person Identification Through Gait [pdf]
- jruohonen 3y ago"Here, we found that overall identification performance was indeed very robust. Removing large parts of the data, either by omitting body parts or reducing spatial and temporal resolution, did have little effect on the recognition performance." "One possible interpretation of the findings is that gait is idiosyncratic and very redundant. Moreover, gait can be considered an individual trait that shows little variability over time and even lifespan. Studies reported that major adult gait emerges already at the age of five years, although age-related effects such as slower gait or shorter steps as well as age-related body proportion changes have been found as well." "Our results suggest that gait will be very hard to anonymize effectively."
