In the video above, three people walk within the camera field-of-view, while only one of them carries a wearable accelerometer node. After the person walks a few steps, the system is able to identify the node-carrying person by comparing the gait signature observed by the accelerometer with that observed from each person in the video. (For clarity, the person carrying the accelerometer node is always the one with the red jacket.)
