Introduction: Person Identifier and GAIT Authenticator using Accelerometer

Purpose:

This project aims to develop a solution to authenticate the GAIT and identify the person characteristics such as ‘Age’, ‘Gender’, ‘Height’ using smartphone sensors.

Features:

• Detection of Human Gait using accelerometer sensor of smartphone.
• Improved accuracy and detection of Person Characteristics using Barometer Sensor.
• Human activity recognition such as walking, running, etc.
• Developed an app to detect the theft of the phone as soon as the thief captures it and move away.
• Validated in multiple conditions by keeping the phone in different positions.
