This study introduces an efficient wavelet-based feature selection method for subject recognition using ground reaction forces. The novel fuzzy complementary criterion (FuzCoC) ensures optimal feature selection for improved gait recognition accuracy.

Area of Science:

Biometrics
Signal Processing
Machine Learning

Background:

Gait recognition is crucial for subject identification.
Ground reaction force (GRF) measurements offer rich data for gait analysis.
Existing feature selection methods may not fully exploit complementary information in GRF data.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an efficient wavelet-based feature selection (FS) method for subject recognition using GRF.
To introduce a fuzzy complementary criterion (FuzCoC) for iterative feature selection.
To develop novel techniques for enhanced feature extraction and selection from gait data.

Main Methods:

Wavelet packet (WP) decomposition of gait signals to identify discriminating frequency sub-bands.
Application of a computationally simple FS method guided by the FuzCoC criterion.
