Automatic gender and unilateral load state recognition for biometric purposes.

Background: Automatic recognition of a person's gender as well as his or her unilateral load state are issues that are often analyzed and utilized by a wide range of applications. For years, scientists have recognized human gait patterns for purposes connected to medical diagnoses, rehabilitation, sport, or biometrics.

Objective: The present paper makes use of ground reaction forces (GRF) generated during human gait to recognize gender or the unilateral load state of a walking person as well as the combination of both of those characteristics.

Real-world measurements of ground reaction forces of normal gait of young adults wearing various footwear.

For years, researchers have been recognizing patterns in gait for purposes of medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biometrics. A method for observing gait is to measure ground reaction forces (GRFs) between the foot and solid plate with tension sensors. The presented dataset consists of 13,702 measurements of bipedal GRFs of one step of normal gait of 324 students wearing shoes of various types.

Ensemble of Heterogeneous Base Classifiers for Human Gait Recognition.

Human gait recognition is one of the most interesting issues within the subject of behavioral biometrics. The most significant problems connected with the practical application of biometric systems include their accuracy as well as the speed at which they operate, understood both as the time needed to recognize a particular person as well as the time necessary to create and train a biometric system. The present study made use of an ensemble of heterogeneous base classifiers to address these issues.

Ensembling rules in automatic analysis of pressure on plantar surface in children with pes planovalgus.

Purpose: This paper presents a method of ensembling rules obtained through induction of several basic types of decision trees.

Material And Methods: The proposed method uses rules generated by means of well-known decision trees: CART, CHAID, exhaustive CHAID and C4.5.

Recognition of a Person Wearing Sport Shoes or High Heels through Gait Using Two Types of Sensors.

Biometrics is currently an area that is both very interesting as well as rapidly growing. Among various types of biometrics the human gait recognition seems to be one of the most intriguing. However, one of the greatest problems within this field of biometrics is the change in gait caused by footwear.

Occlusion trajectory and a concept of a device for testing operating life of dentures.

Purpose: This paper presents an original method for the assessment of occlusion trajectory. On this basis, a special device for the assessment of operating life of dentures was designed.

Material/methods: For this purpose, the SMART system by BTS for a comprehensive movement analysis was used.
