Detailed Information on Publication Record

The article deals with the possibility of identifying people according to the dynamic stereotype of human locomotion; it is a new perspective on the identification of a person according to functional and dynamic characters. Walking Identification is a new biometric characteristic and research shows that the movement of a person can be described by curves of movement of selected joints. The authors made a series of measurements on a set of men and women and studied the changes in walking depending on footwear. In the experiment, an analysis of the movement in the lateral plane of the body was performed. The authors are aware of the fact that a number of factors contribute to the movement of the body while walking, and it is not possible to accurately cover them all at once. The more detailed the analysis is, the more different factors play a role. It can be a number of internal and external factors, such as the mental state of a person, physical condition, medication, alcohol, load bearing, environmental conditions, ground condition, etc. One of the most important factors the authors have focused on is the person's footwear. The background materials used to create the waveforms of the identification curves in the antero-posterior plane of movement. Attention was paid only to the three joints of the lower limb, the hip, knee and ankle joint, for possible simple processing in forensic and forensic practice. By analyzing the kinematics of the movement, significant differences were found in locomotion of different persons, but also significant differences given by the shoe used.
