Abstract:

<p>Biometric technology is rapidly evolving in today's society. A large part of the technology has its roots hundreds, or even thousands of years back in time, while other parts are new and futuristic. Research suggest that individuals can be identified by the way they walk, and this kind of biometrics, gait biometrics, is a rather new and definitely intriguing field. However, the technology is far from mature; the performance is not generally competitive to other biometrics, and it has not been thoroughly tested security-wise. This thesis aims to test the security strength of gait biometrics.

Rapid advances in biometrics technology makes their use for person‘s identity more acceptable in a variety of applications, especially in the areas of the interest in security and surveillance. The upsurge in terrorist attacks in the past few years has focused research on biometric systems that have the ability to identify individuals from a distance, and this is spearheading research interest in Gait biometric due to being unobtrusive and less dependent on high image/video quality. Gait biometric is a behavioral trait that aims to identify individuals from image sequences based on their walki

Abstract:

Two methods were used in this research. The pedobarograph is a relatively novel method of gait analysis for animals which enables footfall patterns to be recorded, enabling spatial parameters (step length, width and angle) and plantar pressure patterns to be described and measured. A Kistler force plate was then used to measure the three-dimensional ground reaction forces (GRF's) produced during walking. Speed and cadence can be calculated using either system. Gait patterns are described for normal birds, and for different strains of broilers, raised on different feeding regimes. All the gait

The work presented within this document details the development of a novel gait verification system suitable for a variety of applications such as human motion studies, medical analysis and security situations. The human gait is a spatio temporal process involving the coordination and interaction between the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems. Due to inherent variations in the limb lengths, muscle strengths and body mass gait is inherently individual. To develop a suitable feature extraction process a virtual gait laboratory was developed. The virtual laboratory contains virtual character

However, there have as yet been few gait biometric approaches which use temporal three-dimensional(3D) data. Clearly, 3D gait data conveys more information than 2D gait data and it is also the natural representation of human gait as perceived by humans.The University of Southampton has created a multi-biometric tunnel using twelve cameras to capture multiple gait images and reconstruct them into 3D volumetric gait data.

Human gait is a complex process that involves the coordination of the central nervous and muscular systems. A disruption to the either system results in the impairment of a person’s ability to walk. Impairments can be caused by neurological disorders such as stroke and physical conditions like amputation. There is not a standardized method to quantitatively assess the gait asymmetry of affected subjects. The purpose of this research is to understand the fundamental aspects of asymmetrical effects on the human body and improve rehabilitation techniques and devices. This rese

This research has advanced our understanding of how the brain controls muscle activity during walking, in healthy adults of different ages and people with Parkinson's disease. It has shown that there is direct brain control of leg muscles during the double support phase of gait in these populations. Moreover, this brain control is reduced in people with Parkinson's compared to healthy individuals, and standard anti-Parkinsonian medication does not counteract this deficiency.

Background: Stroke survivors fall more often, mostly due to stumbling and slipping; which may signify.

All these factors are known to be affected by stroke; however, how these factors affect foot placement accuracy in stroke survivors is largely unknown.

One of the unique advantages of human gait is that it can be perceived from a distance. A varied range of research has been undertaken within the field of gait recognition.

In this thesis we show that gait has sufficient properties that allows us to exploit the structure of articulated leg motion within single view sequences, in order to remove the unknown subject pose and reconstruct the underlying gait signature, with no prior knowledge of the camera calibrat

DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Li Jin Doctor of Philosophy Department of Human Physiology March 2018 Title: Kinematic and Kinetic Analysis of Walking and Running across Speeds and Transitions between Locomotion States Walking and running are general locomotion activities for human beings. Basic gait patterns and whole body center of mass (COM) dynamic patterns are distinctly different between them. Lower extremity joint mechanics patterns could reflect musculoskeletal coordination characteristics. Change of locomotion tasks and speeds can affect lower extremity joint kinematic and kinetic charac

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on 3D marker tracking for human gait analysis. In KISS Gait Analysis System at METU, a subject&#039<br>s gait is recorded with 6 cameras while 13 reflective markers are attached at appropriate locations on his/her legs and feet. These images are processed to extract 2 dimensional (2D) coordinates of the markers in each camera. The 3 dimensional (3D) coordinates of the markers are obtained by processing the 2D coordinates of the markers with linearization and calibration algorithms. Then 3D trajectories of the markers are formed using the 3D coordinates of the markers. In th

Abstract:

This thesis describes the development of a tool to assist animators in doing walk cycles. In traditional animation, animators create expressive walk cycles with key poses. The process of generating walk cycles by hand is tedious and repetitive. To help animators, many researchers in computer graphics have worked on automating gait generation. However, almost all of them used methods that eliminate animator defined key poses. Although they produce realistic results, their methods are not suitable for expressive walk cycles that can be found in cartoons. The tool described in this thesis attempt
