Biometric recognition system based on the motion of the human body gravity centre analysis

In this paper we present a novel approach that enables the determination and measurement of important features associated with the human body movement. This information can be used in the construction of a biometric personal identification system. Biometrics is, essentially, a pattern recognition system based on measurements of unique physiological or behavioural features as acquired from an individual. The domain of biometric techniques is currently placed within recently developed disciplines of science. Biometry or biometrics is simply defined as automatically recognizing a person using distinguishing traits and is widely used in various security systems. Biometry can be defined as a method of personal identification based on individuals' physical and behavioural features. Physiological biometrics covers data coming directly from a measurement of part of a human body, for example a fingerprint, the shape of the face, or from the retina. Behavioural biometrics analyses data obtained on the basis of an activity performed by a given person, for example speech and the handwritten signature. The system of biometrics defined above can now be expanded, and a new biometrics system can be considered. In our approach, human foot pressure on a surface is measured and the pressure data retrieved. The pressure parameters are collected without the necessity of any movements of the feet.
