Biometric personal identification using sole information

In this paper, we propose a personal identification method using sole information. We employ pressure changes of sole in walking. First, we do a preliminary examination using a load distribution sensor. We employ a neural network for a personal identification method. As the result, we show a possibility of an identification system by sole information using the load distribution sensor. Based on the result, we propose a personal identification method by sole pressure changes using three air pressure sensors. This method could identify one of five volunteers at 85.4% recognition rate.
