Robust analytics for video based Gait biometrics

Abstract

Gait analysis is the study of the systematic methods that assess and quantify animal locomotion The research on gait analysis has considerably evolved through time It was an ancient art and it still finds its application today in modern science and medicine. Gait finds a unique importance among the many stateoftheart biometric systems since it does not require the subjects cooperation to the extent required by other modalities Hence by nature it is an unobtrusive biometric Gait is associated with three types of signals viz kinetic kinematic and EMG Kinesiological EMG is mostly used for clinical purposes and kinetic measurement instruments are confined to a limited space newline
