National Physical Laboratory Develops System That Identifies People Based on the Way They Walk

Posted on September 23, 2012

The U.K.'s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a walking gait recognition system. When used in combination with other tools the system can track an individual though a CCTV monitored area by analyzing the way that they walk.

A person's gait signature can be represented by a set of numbers (example at 3:24 in the video). Take a look:
