Gait, as a kind of biological feature, has a profound value in personnel identification. This paper analyzes gait characteristics based on acceleration sensors of smart phones and proposes a new gait recognition method. First, in view of the existing methods in the process of extraction of gait features, a large number of redundant calculations, cycle detection error, and the phase deviation issue during the week put forward the Shape Context (SC) and Linear Time Normalized (LTN) combining SCLTN calibration method of gait cycle sequence matching, to represent the whole extract typical gait cycle gait. In view of the existing extracted gait features are still some conventional features; the velocity change of relatively uniform acceleration and the change of acceleration per unit time are proposed as new features. Secondly, combining new features with traditional features to form a new feature is set for training alternative feature set, from which the training time and recognition effect of multiple classifiers are screened. Finally, a new multiclassifier fusion method, Multiple Scale Voting (MSV), is proposed to fuse the results of Multiple classifiers to obtain the final classification results. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, gait data of 32 testers are collected. The final experimental results show that the new feature has good separability, and the recognition rate of fusion feature set after MSV algorithm is 98.42%.

Gait as a biometric can be used to identify subjects at a distance and thus it receives great attention from the research community for security and surveillance applications. One of the challenges that affects gait recognition performance is view variation. Much work has been done to tackle this challenge. However, the majority of the work assumes that gait silhouettes are captured by affine cameras where only the height of silhouettes changes and the difference in viewing angle of silhouettes in one gait cycle is relatively small. In this paper, we analyze the variation in gait recognition performance when using silhouettes from projective cameras and from affine cameras with different distance from the center of a walking path. This is done by using 3D models of walking people in the gallery set and 2D gait silhouettes from independent (single) cameras in the probe set. Different factors that affect matching 3D human models with 2D gait silhouettes from single cameras for view-independent gait recognition are analyzed. In all experiments, we use 258 multi-view sequences belong to 46 subjects from Multi-View Soton gait dataset. We evaluate the matching performance for 12 different views using Gait Energy Image (GEI) as gait features. Then, we analyze the effect of using different camera configurations for 3D model reconstruction, the GEI from cameras with different settings, the upper and lower body parts for recognition and different GEI resolutions. The results illustrate that low recognition performance is achieved when using gait silhouettes from affine cameras while lower recognition performance is obtained when using gait silhouettes from projective cameras.

A gait feature extraction method based on resampling shape context is proposed in this article. First, the moving target detection is carried out to obtain the target area of the human body. Second, the gait cycle is measured, and the contour points and the lower limb joints are selected as sampling points. Then, the different sampling points is placed in the polar coordinates of the origin, the number of sampling points in different cells is counted as the shape context; Finally, the feature vectors are constructed according to the shape context, and the minimum distance is used for classification and recognition. Simulation experiments based on resampling shape context are tested in CASIA gait Database A and Database B. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this article has a lower computational complexity and higher recognition rate when compared with the original shape context method, which can be used for gait recognition.

To improve the recognition rate and resolve the view problem in gait analysis, a view-invariant method is presented. This method extracts the mean shape of the head and shoulder models in a gait cycle by using the Procrustes Shape Analysis (PSA) algorithm. Then, the mean shape is converted from 2-D space to 1-D space by unfolding the 2D mean shape from the top point of the head. Furthermore, the piecewise approximation (PA) of the unfolded mean shape is segmented corresponding to the average distance value. The obtained PA is adopted for estimating views and recognizing the gait. Finally, the presented method is conducted on the CASIA B database. The results illustrate that the PA is a powerful discriminative feature for view estimation and gait recognition, and the performance has been improved when there is view variation.

In this paper, a recognition method for multiple classifiers is proposed, which combines an improved eigenface method with Support Vector Machine(SVM). The combining classifiers can make use of high recognition rate for SVM and high speed for distance classification. The distance classifier may classify the input images and give the final results when the rejecting rule is satisfied. Otherwise, these images are delivered to SVM for further classification. Experiment data show that the fusion of multiple classifiers for face recognition has higher efficiency, accuracy of recognition and lower rate of error recognition.

Biometric identification using surveillance video has attracted the attention of many researchers as it can be applicable not only for robust identification but also personalized activity monitoring. In this paper, we present a novel multimodal recognition system that extracts frontal gait and low-resolution face images from frontal walking surveillance video clips to perform efficient biometric recognition. The proposed study addresses two important issues in surveillance video that did not receive appropriate attention in the past. First, it consolidates the model-free and model-based gait feature extraction approaches to perform robust gait recognition only using the frontal view. Second, it uses a low-resolution face recognition approach which can be trained and tested using low-resolution face information. This eliminates the need for obtaining high-resolution face images to create the gallery, which is required in the majority of low-resolution face recognition techniques. Moreover, the classification accuracy on high-resolution face images is considerably higher. Previous studies on frontal gait recognition incorporate assumptions to approximate the average gait cycle. However, we quantify the gait cycle precisely for each subject using only the frontal gait information. The approaches available in the literature use the high resolution images obtained in a controlled environment to train the recognition system. However, in our proposed system we train the recognition algorithm using the low-resolution face images captured in the unconstrained environment. The proposed system has two components, one is responsible for performing frontal gait recognition and one is responsible for low-resolution face recognition. Later, score level fusion is performed to fuse the results of the frontal gait recognition and the low-resolution face recognition. Experiments conducted on the Face and Ocular Challenge Series (FOCS) dataset resulted in a 93.5% Rank-1 for frontal gait recognition and 82.92% Rank-1 for low-resolution face recognition, respectively. The score level multimodal fusion resulted in 95.9% Rank-1 recognition, which demonstrates the superiority and robustness of the proposed approach.

According to the trend of the intelligent monitoring system, on the basis of the study of gait recognition algorithm, the intelligent monitoring system is designed based on FPGA and DSP; On the one hand, FPGA’s flexibility and fast parallel processing algorithms when designing can be both used to avoid that circuit can not be modified after designed; On the other hand, the advantage of processing the digital signal of DSP is fully taken. In the feature extraction and recognition, Zernike moment is selected, at the same time the system uses the nearest neighbor classification method which is more mature and has good real-time performance. Experiments show that the system has high recognition rate.

Identifying communication signals under low SNR environment has become more difficult due to the increasingly complex communication environment. Most relevant literatures revolve around signal recognition under stable SNR, but not applicable under time-varying SNR environment. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature extraction method based on entropy cloud characteristics of communication modulation signals. The proposed algorithm extracts the Shannon entropy and index entropy characteristics of the signals first and then effectively combines the entropy theory and cloud model theory together. Compared with traditional feature extraction methods, instability distribution characteristics of the signals’ entropy characteristics can be further extracted from cloud model’s digital characteristics under low SNR environment by the proposed algorithm, which improves the signals’ recognition effects significantly. The results from the numerical simulations show that entropy cloud feature extraction algorithm can achieve better signal recognition effects, and even when the SNR is −11 dB, the signal recognition rate can still reach 100%.

Human gait recognition is one of the most promising biometric technologies, especially for unobtrusive video surveillance and human identification from a distance. Aiming at improving recognition rate, in this paper we study gait recognition using deep learning and propose a novel method based on convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (Conv-LSTM). First, we present a variation of Gait Energy Images, i.e. frame-by-frame GEI (ff-GEI), to expand the volume of available Gait Energy Images (GEI) data and relax the constraints of gait cycle segmentation required by existing gait recognition methods. Second, we demonstrate the effectiveness of ff-GEI by analyzing the cross-covariance of one person’s gait data. Then, making use of the temporality of our human gait, we design a novel gait recognition model using Conv-LSTM. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated extensively based on the CASIA Dataset B for cross-view gait recognition, furthermore the OU-ISIR Large Population Dataset is employed to verify its generalization ability. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other algorithms based on these two datasets. The results indicate that the proposed ff-GEI model using Conv-LSTM, coupled with the new gait representation, can effectively solve the problems related to cross-view gait recognition.

AbstractGait-based features provide the potential for a subject to be recognized even from a low-resolution image sequence, and they can be captured at a distance without the subject’s cooperation. Person recognition using gait-based features (gait recognition) is a promising real-life application. However, several body parts of the subjects are often occluded because of beams, pillars, cars and trees, or another walking person. Therefore, gait-based features are not applicable to approaches that require an unoccluded gait image sequence. Occlusion handling is a challenging but important issue for gait recognition. In this paper, we propose silhouette sequence reconstruction from an occluded sequence (sVideo) based on a conditional deep generative adversarial network (GAN). From the reconstructed sequence, we estimate the gait cycle and extract the gait features from a one gait cycle image sequence. To regularize the training of the proposed generative network, we use adversarial loss based on triplet hinge loss incorporating Wasserstein GAN (WGAN-hinge). To the best of our knowledge, WGAN-hinge is the first adversarial loss that supervises the generator network during training by incorporating pairwise similarity ranking information. The proposed approach was evaluated on multiple challenging occlusion patterns. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the existing state-of-the-art benchmarks.

A gait event is a crucial step towards the effective assessment and rehabilitation of motor dysfunctions. However, for the data acquisition of a three-dimensional motion capture (3D Mo-Cap) system, the high cost of setups, such as the high standard laboratory environment, limits widespread clinical application. Inertial sensors are increasingly being used to recognize and classify physical activities in a variety of applications. Inertial sensors are now sufficiently small in size and light in weight to be part of a body sensor network for the collection of human gait data. The acceleration signal has found important applications in human gait recognition. In this paper, using the experimental data from the heel and toe, first the wavelet method was used to remove noise from the acceleration signal, then, based on the threshold of comprehensive change rate of the acceleration signal, the signal was primarily segmented. Subsequently, the vertical acceleration signals, from heel and toe, were integrated twice, to compute their respective vertical displacement. Four gait events were determined in the segmented signal, based on the characteristics of the vertical displacement of heel and toe. The results indicated that the gait events were consistent with the synchronous record of the motion capture system. The method has achieved gait event subdivision, while it has also ensured the accuracy of the defined gait events. The work acts as a valuable reference, to further study gait recognition.
