ID'ing People By How They Walk

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-have-nothing-to-hide dept.

thedude writes "Just stumbled upon this article about a system for ID'ing people by the way they walk. Maybe a combination of facial, voice, and gait recognition will increase the accuracy of these systems? I'll be sure to waddle next time I'm at the airport."

    All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.

    Please, having injured my knee as a child I seem to have picked up a "Stylish" ass-wiggling type walk, similar to pimps in movies. Needless to say this gets me heckled alot by black women saying no white man need to wiggle his ass like that... though they all agree I got a nice one...
