Abstract

This paper affords a method for the recognition of gait biometrics using J48 decision tree algorithm for an integrated accelerometer of mobile phone. The proposed model allows recognizing the subjects based on their gait. When a subject walks, a unique angle is created at his knee joint. Classifying the subject with the help of his knee angle enables unique recognition. The model is designed, developed, and tested in WEKA considering the parameters x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, and knee angle for the recognition of gait. Acceleration data is received from integrated sensor of cell phone placed in a front pocket of right leg’s trouser of the subject. Data is then analyzed and with the involvement of total 41 volunteers over 18–30 years old in the experiment, we achieved accuracy of 89.45%.
