Gait recognition

Gait recognition is a biometric technology, involving identification through characteristics of their movement when walking.

Gait recognition can only practically be used in appropriately open areas, such as entrance halls, where those having their gaits analysed would be clearly visible and necessarily aware of their surveillance. A gait can be easily modified by the subject, making this form of biometrics unreliable if the subject is aware of their surveillance.
