FEATURES SIMPLIFICATION USING CUBIC BEZIER PROPERTIES FOR GAIT RECOGNITION ON SMARTPHONE

Abstract

Smartphone is widely used around the world. It’s user authentication usually used pin code, pattern code, fingerprint and conventional login authentication. This kinds of authentication mechanism is intrusive because those mechanisms requires users to give exclusive interaction for user authentication during the process. One of authentication method which is non-intrusive during data collection is authentication by using gait. This mechanism classified as non-intrusive because this mechanism could gather biometric data without being noticed by the authentication subjects. Since it is non-intrusive, this mechanism allows re-authentications without bothering the authentication subjects. One of the recent gait recognition is using accelerometer on smartphone to measure and capture acceleration data on gait. This method extract step cycles in various length, map and interpolate the data into higher sample count, and then use each of mapped and interpolated data as feature using recognition. Regardless the classification or recognition method, using each mapped and interpolated data as features would result in high processing time during classification or recognition due to high feature count. In this research, we try to simplify the features of gait data with minimum data loss so it might give robust result with less latency by aligning cubic Bezier curve to step cycle data and extracting the Bezier properties.
