Gait is a behavioural biometric which sometimes changes due to diseases but it is still a strong identification metric that is widely used in forensic works, state biometric preserve sectors, and medical laboratories. Gait analysis sometimes helps to identify person’s present mental state which reflects on physiological therapy for improved biological system. There are various gait measurement forms which expand the research area from crime detection to medical enhancement. Many research works have been done so far for gait recognition. Many researchers focused on skeleton image of people to extract gait features and many worked on stride length. Various sensors have been used to detect gait in various light forms. This paper is a brief survey of works on gait recognition, collected from various sources of science and technology literature. We have discussed few efficient models that worked best as well as we have discussed about few data sets available.

Human Gait is known as a behavioral characteristic of humans, compared with the other biometrics gait is found to be a difficult process to conceal. Human gait analysis is usually done by extracting the features from the body. Analysis of gait involves evaluating the individual by means of kinematic analysis while walking along a surface. The main objective and the purpose of gait recognition is to give the best method where risks are recognized in places where there is a need for high security in any public place and to detect diseases like Parkinson’s. In order to acquire a normal person’s identification and validation performance, various Deep Learning techniques are totally studied and modeled the biometrics of gait which is based on walking data. It is reviewed that among various essential metrics that are used, deep learning convolution neural networks are typically better Machine Learning models. The main objective of the present study was to examine in detail individual gait patterns. Finally, this paper recommends deep learning methods and suggests the directions for future gait analysis and also for its applications.

As emerging areas of interest in gait analysis research, gait authentication and activity recognition have drawn significant attention recently, facilitated by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and smart devices. Machine learning models have been developed to reduce human effort and improve model accuracy in these areas. Sufficient amounts of data become critical for these applications. Unlike other fields such as image processing, in which massive data are easy to collect, human gait data is difficult to collect in large amounts, which makes publicly accessible databases in this area even more valuable. This paper aimed to summarize publicly accessible IMU-based gait databases by surveying the recent literature in human gait analysis. 199 papers were manually evaluated with sixteen data sets included (seven for gait authentication and nine for activity recognition). The detailed technical contents were described and compared in the survey to assist the audience on how to better utilize the data sets.
