Personal classification using sole pressure change is essential for intelligent control, security on home because the users do not need to have anything, such as ID-Card, PIN code and so on. In our study, we propose a personal classification system by sole pressure change obtained by mat type pressure sensor. Mat type pressure sensor is placed on the floor in the entrance of home. We employ four features for classifying each family member and do personal classification based on Euclidean distance based method. As the experimental result on healthy 60 volunteers ranged from 20 to 80 years old, we have evaluated the performance. The results showed that the proposed system successfully classified them and it is especially useful in home intelligent system.
