Research Abstract |
Gait is a powerful remote biometric, offering the advantages of identification from a distance, and of being unobtrusive. We proposed a person identification technique that uses information from person's shadow. In the proposed system, we obtain the advantages of multiple viewpoints with a single camera and additional light sources. More specific, we install multiple infrared lights, which have advantages as undetected sensing, to project shadows of a subject on the ground and a camera in the ceiling inside of a building. Shadow areas, which are projections of one's body on the ground by multiple lights, can be considered as body areas captured from different viewpoints; thus, the proposed system is able to capture multiple projections of the body from a single camera. In addition, we extended the proposed system to improve its performance, by introducing a voting-based method. We showed that the proposed system outperformed an existing method with a database consisting of 54 people.
