The 2nd International StepUP Competition for Biometric Footstep Recognition: From Steps to Strides
The International StepUP Competition Series was launched to advance research in pressure-based footstep biometrics through a standardized and challenging evaluation framework. Using the large-scale StepUP-P150 dataset (with more than 200,000 high-resolution dynamic footsteps from 150 individuals) and a previously unreleased test set, the 2nd edition of the competition addressed three key challenges: (1) generalization to unseen users with limited enrollment data, (2) robustness to domain shift caused by variations in footwear and walking speed and (3) effective fusion of paired left-right foot
