    Plantar pressure, the pressure exerted between the sole and the supporting surface, has great potentialities in various research fields, including footwear design, biometrics, gait analysis and the assessment of patients with diabetes. This research designs an optical-based foot plantar pressure measurement system aimed for human postural control and person identification. The proposed system consists of digital cameras installed underneath an acrylic plate covered by glossy white paper and mounted with LED strips along the side of the plate. When the light is emitted from the LED stripes, it deflects the digital cameras due to the pressure exerted between the glossy white paper and the acrylic plate. In this way, the cameras generate color-coded plantar pressure images of the subject standing on the acrylic-top platform. Our proposed system performs personal identification and postural control by extracting static and dynamic features from the generated plantar pressure images. Plantar pressure images were collected from 90 individuals (40 males, 50 females) to develop and evaluate the proposed system. In posture balance evaluation, we propose the use of a posture balance index that contains both magnitude and directional information about human posture balance control. For person identification, the experimental results show that our proposed system can achieve promising results, showing an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.98515 (98.515%), an equal error rate (EER) of 5.8687%, and efficiency of 98.515%.

    In this research, we purposed the design of real-time low-cost marker-free optical-based plantar-pressure measurement with application in human postural control, gait and recognition analysis. The system consists of a series of digital cameras capture installed underneath the acrylic-top platform. Light of LED strip mounted along the side of the acrylic plate deflected by the pressure exerted between the glossy white paper installed in the top of acrylic and the acrylic plate to the digital cameras provides the color-coded plantar pressure image of the subject standing on the platform. The system can provide both static features and dynamic features. Our hybrid system consists of a series of USB cameras aligned under the acrylic-plate walking platform. The mosaic image processing is used to concatenate the captured image to increase the sensing area. Captured the image data in video mode, various dynamic parameters can be derived for further dynamic analysis. The image capturing in one specific frame can be used for static analysis. Application in human-postural measurement, gait analysis, and person identification indicate that our system is an all-in-one system for plantar pressure measurement.
