DESCRIPTION OF SFootBD
The database is comprised of 19,980 footstep signals (9,990 stride signals) from 127 users, as described in [PAMI2012] and [IET2011].
The footstep signals are stored in .mat (MATLAB) files. After loading each file, footstep signals corresponding to the right and left foot are stored respectively in two matrices (dataR and dataL) of dimensions 2200 by 88, i.e., 2200 time samples and 88 piezoelectric sensors.
The nomenclature followed to name the signature files is the date of collection, as follows: yyyy-mm-dd_hh-xx-ss_msc.mat
yyyy: year
mm: month
dd: day
hh: hour
xx: minute
ss: second
msc: millisecond
As described in [PAMI2012] and [IET2011], the database is divided into different datasets to carry out the experimental work: Training set, Impostors set, Validation test set and Evaluation test set.
There is an index file specifying the signals used in each dataset. Index files corresponding to the Benchmark baseline (40 clients and 40 signals per client) are included with this release of the database. These index files are stored in .txt files with two columns:
COLUMN 1: represents the user identifier [15, 16, ... , 120]
COLUMN 2: represents footstep file, e.g., 2007-05-22_15-15-21_971
