    This paper presents a method for modeling a 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) human body and extracting the gait features for identifying the human subject. To achieve view-invariant gait recognition, a multi-view synthesizing method based on point cloud registration (MVSM) to generate multi-view training galleries is proposed. The concept of a density and curvature-based Color Gait Curvature Image is introduced to map 2.5D data onto a 2D space to enable data dimension reduction by discrete cosine transform and 2D principle component analysis. Gait recognition is achieved via a 2.5D view-invariant gait recognition method based on point cloud registration. Experimental results on the in-house database captured by a Microsoft Kinect camera show a significant performance gain when using MVSM

    Learning optimised representations for view-invariant gait recognition

    Gait recognition can be performed without subject cooperation under harsh conditions, thus it is an important tool in forensic gait analysis, security control, and other commercial applications. One critical issue that prevents gait recognition systems from being widely accepted is the performance drop when the camera viewpoint varies between the registered templates and the query data. In this paper, we explore the potential of combining feature optimisers and representations learned by convolutional neural networks (CNN) to achieve efficient view-invariant gait recognition. The experimental results indicate that CNN learns highly discriminative representations across moderate view variations, and these representations can be further improved using view-invariant feature selectors, achieving a high matching accuracy across views

    Spatio-temporal alignment and hyperspherical radon transform for 3D gait recognition in multi-view environments

    This paper presents a view-invariant approach to gait recognition in multi-camera scenarios exploiting a joint spatio-temporal data representation and analysis. First, multi-view information is employed to generate a 3D voxel reconstruction of the scene under study. The analyzed subject is tracked and its centroid and orientation allow recentering and aligning the volume associated to it, thus obtaining a representation invariant to translation, rotation and scaling. Temporal periodicity of the walking cycle is extracted to align the input data in the time domain. Finally, Hyperspherical Radon Transform is presented as an efficient tool to obtain features from spatio-temporal gait templates for classification purposes. Experimental results prove the validity and robustness of the proposed method for gait recognition tasks with several covariates.Postprint (published version
