On the numbers, it reports 95.8% accuracy on a major dataset and 83.7% Rank-1 accuracy on a tougher real-world benchmark. The model is meant to keep working when a face is turned away or covered, when parts of the body are blocked from view, and when the subject is being recorded from a distance in places such as streets, transit hubs, and campuses.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you track surveillance and biometric systems, this one deserves a look. Gait can be captured remotely, with some reports putting the range at <strong>up to 50 meters<\/strong>. Other researchers and companies, including Watrix, have also published very high results. Real-world performance can still drop, though, because of lighting, clothing, injuries, bags, crowds, and camera angle.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paper is available in the journal.
