This paper deals with a problem of recognition by gait when time-dependent covariates are added, i.e. when 6 months have passed between recording of the gallery and the probe sets. We show how recognition rates fall significantly when data is captured between lengthy time intevals, for static and dynamic gait features. Under the assumption that it is possible to have some subjects from the prob...

Effective gait rehabilitation is challenging, often requiring strenuous effort from a therapist, or expensive technology, or both. One rehabilitation method involves assisting the patient’s foot through a gait-like trajectory. While numerous devices have been developed to address the gait training needs of adults, these tools do not always scale well to meet the needs of a child’s smaller body ...

Gait recognition is identifying human beings by the manner in which they walk. It has been shown by several researchers that human beings have the ability to recognize other people by their gait. Machine recognition of gait is becoming increasingly important for surveillance, awarespaces etc. A number of methods have been proposed by different researchers in the recent past for this purpose. Mo...

The characteristics of vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) gait patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify VGRF gait features that discriminate between children with ASD and the peer control group. The VGRF data were obtained from 30 children with ASD and 30 normal healthy children aged 4 to 12 years. A three-dime...

Distinct gait characteristics like short steps and shuffling gait are prototypical signs commonly observed in Parkinson's disease. Routinely assessed by observation through clinicians, gait is rated as part of categorical clinical scores. There is an increasing need to provide quantitative measurements of gait, e.g. to provide detailed information about disease progression. Recently, we develop...

Gait exhibits several advantages with respect to other biometrics features: acquisition can be performed through cheap technology, at a distance and without people collaboration. In this paper we perform gait analysis using skeletal data provided by the Microsoft Kinect sensor. We defined a rich set of physical and behavioral features aiming at identifying the more relevant parameters for gait ...

This study examines what in Denmark may constitute evidence based on forensic anthropological gait analyses, in the sense of pointing to a match (or not) between a perpetrator and a suspect, based on video and photographic imagery. Gait and anthropometric measures can be used when direct facial comparison is not possible because of perpetrators masking their faces. The nature of judicial and na...
