Abstract: A method of identification of an individual is based on movement information. Movement information from an image sequence that results when a typical or predetermined movement is carried out by the individual to be identified is recorded and evaluated by means of optical flow in order to ensure high recognition dependability. Complementary audio and static image information may also be evaluated.
