This is the first book to address gait as a biometric. Recognizing people by the way they walk and run requires analyzing movement which, in turn, requires analyzing sequences of images, thus requiring memory and computational performance that became available only recently. Human Identification Based on Gait introduces new work from distinguished researchers in this relatively new area of biometrics. This book clearly establishes how human gait is biometric.

This book is structured to meet the needs of professionals in industry, as well as advanced-level students in computer science.
