A major aim of the project at Southampton is to develop a database for research work in automatic gait recognition. We describe elsewhere our own research in automatic gait recognition where many of our students apply their new moving-feature extraction and description techniques. The advantages of using gait as a biometric are that it is non-contact and sequence based.
