The small database consists of at least 10 (currently 12) subjects filmed walking around the inside track, with a green chroma-key backdrop. Each subject was filmed wearing a variety of footwear, clothes and carrying various bags. They were also filmed walking at different speeds. Each subject's data was captured during one long filming session, and all subjects are also within the large database using the same subject number. Please note, no treadmill data or outside data is available for this database.

As with the large database, each digital video (DV) pre-cut file contains at least one complete gait cycle and has a corresponding XML file describing it.

Please note: currently this database is incomplete and changes without warning.
