M-GaitFormer: mobile biometric gait verification using transformers
Mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches are part of our everyday life, acquiring large amount of personal information that needs to be properly secured. Among the different authentication techniques, behavioural biometrics has become a very popular method as it allows authentication in a non-intrusive and continuous way. This study proposes M-GaitFormer, a novel mobile biometric gait verification system based on Transformer architectures. This biometric system only considers the accelerometer and gyroscope data acquired by the mobile device. A complete analysis of the proposed M-GaitFormer is carried out using the popular available databases whuGAIT and OU-ISIR. M-GaitFormer achieves Equal Error Rate (EER) values of 3.42.90ISIR, respectively, outperforming other state-of-the-art approaches based on popular Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).

Abstract

Mobile devices such as smartphones and smartwatches are part of our everyday life, acquiring large amount of personal information that needs to be properly secured. Among the different authentication techniques, behavioural biometrics has become a very popular method as it allows authentication in a non-intrusive and continuous way. This study proposes M-GaitFormer, a novel mobile biometric gait verification system based on Transformer architectures. This biometric system only considers the accelerometer and gyroscope data acquired by the mobile device. A complete analysis of the proposed M-GaitFormer is carried out using the popular available databases whuGAIT and OU-ISIR. M-GaitFormer achieves Equal Error Rate (EER) values of 3.42.90ISIR, respectively, outperforming other state-of-the-art approaches based on popular Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).
