Trait of Gait: A Survey on Gait Biometrics.

Gait analysisis the study of the systematic methods that assess and quantify animal locomotion. The research on gait analysishas considerably evolved through time. It was an ancient art, and it still finds its application today in modern science and medicine. This paper describes how one's gaitcan be used as a biometric. It shall diversely cover salient research done within the field and explain the nuances and advances in each type of gait analysis. The prominent methods of gaitrecognition from the early era to the state of the art are covered. This survey also reviews the various gaitdatasets. The overall aim of this study is to provide a concise roadmap for anyone who wishes to do research in the field of gaitbiometrics.
