Average Gait Differential Image Based Human Recognition

الملخص EN

The difference between adjacent frames of human walking contains useful information for human gait identification.

Based on the previous idea a silhouettes difference based human gait recognition method named as average gait differential image (AGDI) is proposed in this paper.

The AGDI is generated by the accumulation of the silhouettes difference between adjacent frames.

The advantage of this method lies in that as a feature image it can preserve both the kinetic and static information of walking.

Comparing to gait energy image (GEI), AGDI is more fit to representation the variation of silhouettes during walking.

Two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) is used to extract features from the AGDI.

Experiments on CASIA dataset show that AGDI has better identification and verification performance than GEI.

Comparing to PCA, 2DPCA is a more efficient and less memory storage consumption feature extraction method in gait based recognition.
