22.8Listen carefullytothe footsteps in the familyhome,especially ifit haswooden floors,and you can probablyworkout whoit isthat iswalking about.The featuresmost commonlyused toidentify peopleare faces,voices,finger printsandretinal scans.But their^behavioural biometrics^,such asthewaythey walk,arealsogiveaways.Researchers have,for severalyears,used videocameras andcomputers to analyse peoplesgaits,and are now quitegoodat itBut translatingsuch knowledgeinto apractical identificationsystem canbe tricky-・・・especially ifthat systemis supposedto be hidden.Cameras areoften visible,are hard to setup,requi5re good lighting andmay havetheir viewblocked byotherpeople.So ateam ledby KrikorOzanyan of the Universityof Manchester,in England and PatriciaScully of the NationalUniversityof Ireland,in Galwayhave beenlooking for a betterway torecognize gait.Their answer:pressure-sensitive mats.In themselves,such matsare nothingnew.They have been part of securitysystems fordonkeys years.But Dr.OzanyanAnd Dr.Scully usea complexversion thatcan recordthe amount of pressureapplied indifferent placesas someonewalksacross it.These measurementsform apattern uniquetothewalker.Dr.Ozanyan andDr.Scully thereforeturned,as isnowcommon foranything to do withpattern recognition,to an Artificial Intelligencesystem thatuses machinelearning torecognizesuch patterns.It seemsto work.In astudy publishedearlier thisyear thetwo researcherstested theirsystem ona databaseof footstepstroddenby127different people.They foundthat itserror ratein identifyingwho waswho wasa mere

0.7%.And Dr.Scullysays thateven withouta databaseof footstepsto workwiththe system candetermine someonessex—women andmen,with（骨盆）wide andnarrow pelvisesrespectively,walk indifferent ways,——and guess,with reasonableaccuracy,a subjectsage.A mat-based gait-recognition systemhas the advantage thatit wouldwork in any lightingconditions--evenpitch-darkness.And thoughit mightfail toidentify someoneif,say,she was wearing stilettosand hadbeen enteredinto thedatabasewhile wearingtrainers,it would be veryhardtofool itby imitatingthe gaitof anindividual whowas allowedadmissionto aparticular place.The latestphase ofDr.Ozanyan5sandDr.Scullys projectisaredesign of the mat.The oldmats containedindividual（光纤）.（二极管）pressure sensors.The newones containoptical fibresLight-emitting diodesdistributed alongtwo（neighbouring edgesof amat transmitlight intothe fibres.Sensors onthe oppositeedges andthus theopposite endsofthe）（变形）optical fibresmeasure howmuch ofthat lightis received.Any pressureapplied topartofthe matcauses adistortionin thefibres anda consequentchange in the amountof lighttransmitted.Both thelocation andamountofchange canbeplotted andanalyzed bythe machine-learning system.Dr.Ozanyan saysthat theteam havebuilt ademonstration fibre-optic mat,two meterslong anda metrewide,usingmaterials thatcost£100$

130.They arenow talkingto companiesabout commercializingit.One applicationmight beinhealth care,particularly forthe elderly.A fibre-optic matinstalled in a nursinghome oran oldpersons ownresidence couldmonitorchanges in an individualsgait thatwarn certainillnesses.That wouldprovide earlywarning ofsomeone beingatgreater riskof fallingover,say,orof their cognitionbecoming damaged.Gait analysismight alsobe usedass asecurity measureintheworkplace,monitoring accessto restrictedareas,such aspartsof militarybases,server farmsor laboratoriesdealing withharmful materials.In thesecases,employees wouldneed toagree to theirgaits beingscanned,just asthey wouldagreetothe scanningof theirfaces orretinas foroptical securitysystems.Perhaps themost fascinatinguse ofgait-recognition mats,though,wouldbein publicplaces,such asairports.For thattowork,thefootstepsof thoseto berecognized wouldneed tohavebeenstored ina database,which wouldbe harderto arrangethanthe collectionof mugshotsand fingerprintsthat existingairport securitysystems relyon.Some people,however,mightvolunteer forit Manyaircrew orpre-registered frequentflyers wouldwelcome anythingthat speededup oneofthemosttiresome partsof moderntravel.
