Chinese ‘gait recognition’ tech IDs people by how they walk
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese authorities have begun deploying a new surveillance tool: “gait recognition” software that uses people’s body shapes and how they walk to identify them, even when their faces are hidden from cameras.
Cool idea. Gait recognition is less prone to errors and can’t be hacked. It is also less invasive than other biometrics such as fingerprinting, eye scanning, and facial recognition.
