Abstract

A personal identification method using head-top image is improved for the smart house. The personal recognition rate was 86.4 percent in the previous report from eleven subjects who stood still. It was improved to 100 percent in this study by using the same image database of the previous report. Moreover, head-top image sequences were acquired when the subjects under the thermo camera started walking, and the personal recognition rate was 52 percent from six subjects.
