Biometrics is used in a wide array of applications, which makes a precise definition difficult to establish. The most general definition of a biometric is: "A physiological or behavioral characteristic, which can be used to identify and verify the identity of an individual" There are numerous biometric measures which can be used to help derive an individual's identity. Using gait as a biometric is a relatively new area of study, within the realms of computer vision. In this paper Gait recognition is done in order to detect flat foot problems in an individual.
