Area of Science:

  • Biometrics
  • Human locomotion analysis
  • Pattern recognition

Background:

  • Human fingerprints are unique and lifelong identifiers.
  • A similar unique and persistent identifier may exist in an individual's walking pattern, termed a gaitprint.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide evidence for the existence of a unique gaitprint.
  • To identify individuals using basic spatiotemporal gait variables.

Main Methods:

  • 81 adults walked overground wearing inertial measurement units.
  • Data collected over multiple trials across different days.
  • Four pattern analysis methods (Euclidean distance, cosine similarity, random forest, support vector machine) applied to spatiotemporal variables.

Main Results:

  • High accuracy in individual identification based on gait patterns.
  • Random forest achieved 98.63% accuracy.
  • Support vector machine and cosine similarity (top 10 trials) achieved 98.40% accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • A persistent walking pattern contains sufficient individual information for identification.
  • The findings support the existence of a unique gaitprint, analogous to a fingerprint.
