In 2018 it was already common knowledge that gait analysis was more accurate than facial recognition at the time. This would have been defeatable then.

- beepbooptheory 7mo agoHow are everyone's gaits being collected? Is there gait databases at the NSA? Not being skeptical! Honestly very interesting.
- nemomarx 7mo agoYou could compare gaits between footage of a crime and footage of you in another public place, probably? I don't think I've heard of it being used though.
- a2tech 7mo agoWe only have discussions of the Chinese rolling out gait tracking widely. Basically you use existing facial databases to match ids to people in observed areas and capture their gait as they pass observed areas. Then it goes into the database. Using partial matching (non ideal observation of gait or face) allows for greater positive matching in non-ideal circumstances.
- MoonWalk 7mo agoTo match ids to people? I'd think you'd match superegos.

- angiolillo 7mo agoDARPA projects from more than a decade ago (VSAM/WAMI for arial platforms like Gorgon Stare) used arial imagery to capture ground shadows for gait tracking purposes. From chatting with some of the researchers many years ago my understanding is that it usually wasn't accurate enough for unique identification and the gait shadow was dependent on shoe type and clothing, so a persistent gait shadow database wouldn't have been useful. But it could be correlated with ground-based surveillance for identification, for example person A and B were identified on a ground-based security camera entering a building, then gait tracking could be used to monitor where they went after they left the building even if they avoided ground-based security cameras after that point.

- wiml 7mo agoIs there support for this idea? I've seen it in plenty of novels, but I'd want some stats on how it affects a known, relatively modern, deployed gait recognition system.
- glenstein 7mo agoI think dazzle camouflage is best understood as having limited scope of application as pertains to face recognition. It shouldn't be regarded as failing within its intended scope on account of gait analysis. Everyone knows you have to learn the juggalo dance moves to go along with the face paint.
