Personal Identification based on Sole Pressure Distribution using a Hetero-core Optical Fiber Sensor Network for Personal Web Services

摘要

When creating a personal web service, the personal identification method used in the service should not give users a feeling of being managed or supervised. We have proposed a personal identification method based on information about the "sole" of the foot, which has not yet been applied in the biometrics field, and evaluated the algorithm used in this method. This paper describes on the implementation of the filtering, packetizing and matching functions needed in a real-time identification system, and on the evaluation of the method using a prototype. Also, we propose a personal web service that uses this personal identification method. We built the integrated system in order to evaluate the algorithm for the personal web service, in which TV programs are selected based on a user's preferences.
