Abstract

As inertial sensors are low-cost, easy-to-use, and can be integrated in wearable devices, they can be used to establish as a new modality for user authentication in the smart environment in which computing systems can recognize persons implicitly by their walking patterns. This motivates our proposal to use multi-region size Convolutional Neural Network to recognize users from their gait patterns recorded from accelerometers and gyroscopes in mobile and wearable devices.

Experiments on Inertial Sensor Dataset of OU-ISIR Gait Database, the largest inertial sensor-based gait database, demonstrate that our best CNN models provide the accuracy of \(96.84\%\) and EER of \(10.43\%\), better than those of existing methods. Furthermore, we also prove by experiments that by using only a subset of subjects in OU-ISIR dataset to train CNN models, our method can achieve the accuracy and EER approximately \((95.53 \pm 0.82)\%\) and \((11.60 \pm 0.98)\%\), respectively.
