Part-based human gait identification under clothing and carrying condition variations
Gait recognition has already achieved satisfactory performance on small databases under ideal conditions. Most of the existing approaches represent gait pattern using a locomotion model or statistic model of human silhouette. However, it is still a challenging task to conduct human gait identification under variations of clothing and carrying condition in real scenes. In this paper, an adaptive part-based feature selection method is proposed to filter out interference feature blocks and a matching procedure is performed to identify the correct subject. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods on a large standard dataset, the proposed method shows an encouraging computational complexity reduction and performance improvement in identification rates.
