Automatic Gait Recognition by Symmetry Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new method for automatic gait recognition based on analysing the symmetry of human motion using the Generalised Symmetry Operator. This approach is reinforced by the psychologists view that gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion and results show that gait can indeed be recognised by symmetry analysis. 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Combining Wavelet Velocity Moments and Reflective Symmetry for Gait Recognition
Gait is a biometric feature and gait recognition has become a challenging problem in computer vision. New wavelet velocity moments have been developed to describe and recognize gait. Wavelet moments are translation, scale and rotation invariant. Wavelet analysis has the trait of multi-resolution analysis, which strengthens the analysis ability to image subtle feature. According with the psychol...
متن کاملRecognising human and animal movement by symmetry
We show how the symmetry of motion can be extracted by using the Generalised Symmetry Operator for analysing motion and for gait recognition. This operator, rather than relying on the borders of a shape or on general appearance, locates features by their symmetrical properties. This approach is reinforced by the view from psychology that human gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion, and by oth...
متن کاملHuman Identification by Spatio-Temporal Symmetry
We describe spatio-temporal symmetry and its extraction via a Generalised Symmetry Operator. Its use in gait recognition is reinforced by the view from psychology that human gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion. We show that by including temporal information in our symmetry calculations we are not recognizing people by their body shape but also by their motion. Here, the new technique is app...
متن کاملA Full-Body Layered Deformable Model for Automatic Model-Based Gait Recognition
This paper proposes a full-body layered deformable model (LDM) inspired by manually labeled silhouettes for automatic model-based gait recognition from part-level gait dynamics in monocular video sequences. The LDM is defined for the fronto-parallel gait with 22 parameters describing the human body part shapes (widths and lengths) and dynamics (positions and orientations). There are four layers...
متن کاملAutomatic gait recognition using area-based metrics
A novel technique for analysing moving shapes is presented in an example application to automatic gait recognition. The technique uses masking functions to measure area as a time varying signal from a sequence of silhouettes of a walking subject. Essentially, this combines the simplicity of a baseline area measure with the specificity of the selected (masked) area. The dynamic temporal signal i...
