Abstract

We present a novel analysis of multimedia data that is useful in human computer interfacing. By analyzing the video content of humans walking towards a camera, we establish the nonlinear nature of fronto-normal human gait which motivates the use of nonlinear dynamical analysis used in chaos theory to analyze human gait. In doing so, we obtain features that may be used as a biometric which can be used for automatic identification of humans using computers. We apply this in a multi-biometric experiment to demonstrate its effectiveness.
