Gait advances in emerging biometrics
Original URL: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/14/alt_biometrics/ Gait advances in emerging biometrics By John Leyden (john.leyden at theregister.co.uk) Published Tuesday 14th December 2004 15:07 GMT "Great Juno comes; I know her by her gait." William Shakespeare, The Tempest Retinal scans, finger printing or facial recognition get most of the publicity but researchers across the world are quietly labouring away at alternative types of biometrics. Recognition by the way someone walk (their gait), the shape of their ears, the rhythm they make when they tap and the involuntary response of ears to sounds all have the potential to raise the stock of biometric techniques. According to Professor Mark Nixon, of the Image Speech and Recognition Research Group at the University of Southampton, each has unique advantages which makes them worth exploring. --Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--- + ^ + :"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. /|\ \|/ :They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country /\|/\ <--*-->:and our people, and neither do we." -G.

I began to implement a mixminion system just before it's release, and got sidetracked by paying work :-/ From what little time I spent on the prerelease, it was already a big improvement in installation, although to be honest, I never got a chance to look closely enough at it to have comfort as to any protocol changes (I believe there were some?). I still have that mixm box sitting in the rack, waiting for me to get off my lazy ass and play with it: I will try and make that a priority during january. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0xBD4A95BF Civilization is in a tailspin - everything is backwards, everything is upside down- doctors destroy health, psychiatrists destroy minds, lawyers destroy justice, the major media destroy information, governments destroy freedom and religions destroy spirituality - yet it is claimed to be healthy, just, informed, free and spiritual. We live in a social system whose community, wealth, love and life is derived from alienation, poverty, self-hate and medical murder - yet we tell ourselves that it is biologically and ecologically sustainable. The Bush plan to screen whole US population for mental illness clearly indicates that mental illness starts at the top. Rev Dr Michael Ellner
