There are many different possible biometrics. One way to view -different biometrics are how intrusive they are. More intrusive biometrics -include fingerprints, irises, and DNA; less intrusive are faces, speech, and -gait~\cite{phillips98}.

There are many different possible biometrics. +Biometrics can be divided into physiological and behavioral traits. +Physiological traits include faces, fingerprints, and irises; speech and gait +are behavioral. Faces and gait are the most relevant biometrics for this paper +as they both can be collected passively and involve image processing. + +Approaches to gait recognition fall into two categories: silhouette-based and +model-based. Silhouette-based techniques recognize gaits from a binary +representation of the silhouette as extracted from each image, while +model-based techniques fit a 3-D model to the silhouette to better track +motion~\cite{gait-survey}. Some model-based techniques use features of the +generated model to aid in gait recognition, but they are severely limited by +the difficulty in generating a 3-D model from a 2-D image~\cite{}. +Furthermore, behavioral traits typically are more characteristic as opposed to +unique, and are subject to change with time and based on the observed +activity~\cite{seven-issues}. On the other hand, face recognition, as a +physiological biometric, is a more static feature. Face recognition can be +broken down into three parts: face detection, feature extraction, and +classification; these three parts are studied both individually and +together~\cite{face-survey}. + + +In this paper, we propose using skeleton measurements as a biometric trait +separate from gait biometrics. According to Jain~\etal, a proper biometric has +the following characteristics: \first \emph{universality}, everyone has it, +\second \emph{uniqueness}, it should be different between any two people, +\third \emph{permanence}, it does not vary with time, and \fourth +\emph{collectability}, it is measurable. Universality, permanence, and +collectability are easily met with skeletons (skeletal changes that occur with +age happen gradually). Uniqueness is also met, but we discuss this in more +detail in \xref{sec:uniqueness}. + +By using skeleton as a biometric for recognition, we can formulate skeleton +recognition in a similar way as we can face recognition. The equivalent parts +would be figure detection, skeleton fitting, and classification. Figure +detection and skeleton fitting map to silhouette extraction and model fitting +in gait detection, but as previously noted, they are severely limited. +However, Zhao~\etal~\cite{zhao20063d} perform gait recognition in 3-D using +multiple cameras. By moving to 3-D, many of the problems related to silhouette +extraction and model fitting are removed. Additionally, by moving to 3-D, we +can take advantage of the wealth of research relating to motion +capture~\cite{mocap-survey}. Specifically, range cameras offer real-time depth +imaging, and the Kinect~\cite{kinect} in particular is a widely available range +camera with a low price point. Figure detection and skeleton fitting have also +been studied in motion capture, mapping to region of interest detectors and +human body part identification or pose estimation respectively in this +context~\cite{plagemann:icra10,ganapathi:cvpr10,leyvand:computer11}. +Furthermore, OpenNI~\cite{openni} and Kinect SDK~\cite{kinect-sdk} are two +commercial systems that perform figure detection and skeleton fitting for the +Kinect. Given the maturity of the solutions, we will use implementations of +figure detection and skeleton fitting. Therefore this paper will focus +primarily on the classification part of skeleton recognition. + -Alternatively, biometrics can be divided into physiological and behavioral -traits. Physiological traits include faces, fingerprints, and irises; speech -and gait are behavioral. Face and gait recognition are the most relevent -biometrics for this paper as they both can be collected passively and involve -image processing.
