The Southampton Human ID at a distance gait database consists of two major segments - a large population (~100), but basic, database and a small population, but more detailed, database. The large database is intended to address two questions: whether gait is individual across a significant number of people in normal conditions, and to what extent research effort needs to be directed towards biometric algorithms or towards computer vision algorithms for accurate extraction of subjects. The small database is intended to investigate the robustness of biometric techniques to imagery of the same subject in various common conditions (carrying items, wearing different clothing or footwear).

This set of pages acts as a front-end to the Southampton HID database (see the downloads page for access instructions) and provides a set of examples of the contents of the database.
