Abstract

Due to the unprecedented growth of security cameras and impossibility of manpower to supervise them, the integration of biometric technologies into surveillance systems would be a critical factor for the automation of security and forensic analysis. The use of biometrics for people identification is considered as a vital tool during forensic investigation. Forensic biometrics concerns the use of biometric technologies to primarily determine whether the identity of the perpetrator recorded during the crime scene can be identified or exonerated via a matching process against a list of suspects. The suitability of gait recognition for forensic analysis emerges from the fact that gait can be perceived at distance from the camera even with poor resolution. The strength of gait recognition is its non-invasiveness nature and hence does not require the subject to cooperate with the acquisition system. This makes gait identification ideal for situations where direct contact with the perpetrator is not possible.
