Description MotionMatch is a software technology for recognizing persons according to the way they walk. The recognition process is based on analysis of motion capture data which can be acquired by motion capturing devices, including popular Microsoft Kinect and ASUS Xtion. The acquired data are firstly preprocessed by detecting walking cycles and extracting movement features in form of relative velocities of the specific joints for each walking cycle. Then individual walking cycles can be mutually compared to calculate their similarity. A proposed classification method is finally used to recognize the person who has performed a query motion. The current version of the MotionMatch technology is demonstrated via a web application that allows users to select a query motion and verify whether the technology recognizes the query person correctly.
