21.6Listen carefullytothe footsteps inthe familyhome,especially ifit haswoodenfloors,and you can probablywork outwho it isthatis walkingabout.The featuresmostcommonly usedto identifypeople arefaces,voices,finger printsand retinalscans.Buttheir^behavioural biometrics”,such asthe waythey walk,arealsogiveaways.Researchers have,for severalyears,used videocameras andcomputers toanalysepeoples gaits,and arenow quitegood atit.But translatingsuch knowledgeinto apractical-一identification system can betricky-especially ifthat systemis supposedto behidden.Cameras areoften visible,are hard to set up,requi5regood lighting andmay havetheir viewblockedby otherpeople.So ateam ledby KrikorOzanyan ofthe University of Manchester,in England and PatriciaScully ofthe NationalUniversityofIreland,in Galwayhave beenlookingfor abetter way to recognizegait.Their answer:pressure-sensitive mats.In themselves,such matsare nothingnew.They havebeen part of securitysystems fordonkeys9years.But Dr.Ozanyan And Dr.Scully usea complexversion thatcan recordtheamount ofpressure appliedin differentplaces assomeone walksacross it.Thesemeasurements form a patternunique tothe walker.Dr.Ozanyan andDr.Scully thereforeturned,as isnow commonfor anythingto do with patternrecognition,to anArtificialIntelligence systemthat usesmachine learningto recognizesuch patterns.It seemsto work.In astudy publishedearlier thisyear thetwo researcherstested theirsystemonadatabase of footsteps troddenby127different people.They foundthat itserrorrate inidentifying whowas whowas amere

0.7%.AndDr.Scully saysthat evenwithout adatabaseoffootstepsto workwith the systemcandetermine someonessex--women andmen,（骨盆）with wideand narrowpelvises respectively,walk indifferent ways,-and guess,withreasonable accuracy,a subjectsage.A mat-based gait-recognition systemhas theadvantage thatit wouldwork in anylighting conditions——even pitch-darkness.And thoughit mightfail toidentify someoneif,say,she waswearing stilettosand hadbeen enteredinto the database whilewearing trainers,it would be veryhardtofool itby imitatingthe gaitof anindividual whowas allowedadmissiontoaparticular place.The latestphase ofDr.Ozanyan9sandDr.Scullys projectisaredesign ofthe matThe（光old matscontained individual pressure sensors.The newones containoptical fibres纤）.（二极管）Light-emitting diodesdistributed alongtwo neighbouringedges ofa mat（transmit lightinto the fibres.Sensors onthe oppositeedges andthus theopposite endsofthe）optical fibresmeasure howmuch ofthat lightis received.Any pressureapplied topartof（变形）the matcauses adistortion inthefibresandaconsequent changeintheamount oflighttransmitted.Both thelocation andamount ofchange can be plottedand analyzedby themachine-learning system.Dr.Ozanyan saysthat theteam havebuilt ademonstration fibre-optic mat,two meters（）long anda metrewide,using materialsthat cost£100$

130.They arenow talkingtocompanies aboutcommercializing it.One applicationmight bein healthcare,particularlyfor theelderly.A fibre-optic matinstalled ina nursinghome oran oldpersons ownresidencecould monitorchanges inan individualsgait thatwarn certainillnesses.That wouldprovideearly warningof someonebeing atgreater riskof fallingover,say,orof their cognitionbecomingdamaged.Gait analysismight alsobe usedass asecurity measureintheworkplace,monitoringaccess torestricted areas,such asparts ofmilitary bases,server farmsor laboratoriesdealingwith harmfulmaterials.In thesecases,employees wouldneed toagree totheir gaitsbeingscanned,just asthey wouldagree tothe scanningof theirfaces orretinas foroptical securitysystems.Perhaps the most fascinatinguse ofgait-recognition mats,though,wouldbein publicplaces,such as airports.For thatto work,thefootstepsof thoseto berecognized wouldneedto havebeen stored inadatabase,which wouldbe harderto arrangethan thecollection ofmugshotsand fingerprintsthat existingairport securitysystems relyon.Some people,however,might volunteerforit.Many aircrewor pre-registered frequentflyers wouldwelcomeanythingthatspeeded upone ofthemosttiresome parts of moderntravel.
