Abstract

Vision-based human identification at a distance has attracted more attention recently. This paper makes a simple but efficient attempt to gait recognition. For each image sequence, animproved background subtraction procedure is first used to accurately extract spatial silhouettes of a walker from the background; Then, eigenspace transformation to time-varyingsilhouette shapes is performed to realize feature extraction; The nearest neighbor classifier using spatio-temporal correlation or the normalized Euclidean distance measure is finally utilized in the lower-dimensional eigenspace for recognition, and some additional personalized physical properties are selected for the validation of final decision. Experimental results on a small database show that the proposed algorithm has an encouraging recognition rate with relatively lower computational cost.
