Persistent-homology-based gait recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gait recognition is an important biometric technique for video surveillance tasks, due to the advantage of using it at distance. In this paper, we present a persistent homology-based method to extract topological features (the so-called topological gait signature) from the the body silhouettes of a gait sequence. It has been used before in several conference papers of the same authors for human identification, gender classification, carried object detection and monitoring human activities at distance. The novelty of this paper is the study of the stability of the topological gait signature under small perturbations and the number of gait cycles contained in a gait sequence. In other words, we show that the topological gait signature is robust to the presence of noise in the body silhouettes and to the number of gait cycles contained in a given gait sequence. We also show that computing our topological gait signature of only the lowest fourth part of the body silhouette, we avoid the upper body movements that are unrelated to the natural dynamic of the gait, caused for example by carrying a bag or wearing a coat.

Human Gait Identification Using Persistent Homology
This paper shows an image/video application using topological invariants for human gait recognition. Using a background subtraction approach, a stack of silhouettes is extracted from a subsequence and glued through their gravity centers, forming a 3D digital image I . From this 3D representation, the border simplicial complex ∂K(I) is obtained. We order the triangles of ∂K(I) obtaining a sequen...
متن کاملHuman Based Cost from Persistent Homology for Bipedal Walking
While the focus of robotic bipedal walking to date has been the development of anthropomorphic gait, the community has been unable to agree on a model for such gait. In this paper, we propose a universal ordering of events for bipedal walking based on motion capture data collected from a walking experiment. We process the motion capture data using persistent homology to automatically determine ...
متن کاملPersistent Homology for Automatic Determination of Human-Data Based Cost of Bipedal Walking
The focus of robotic bipedal walking to date has been the development of anthropomorphic gait, but the community as a whole has struggled to agree on the correct ordering of discrete events during walking. In this paper, we propose a universal temporal ordering of discrete events for bipedal walking based on motion capture data collected from a nine subject straight line walking experiment. To ...
متن کاملPersistent homology and partial similarity of shapes
The ability to perform shape retrieval based not only on full similarity, but also partial similarity is a key property for any content-based search engine. We prove that persistence diagrams can reveal a partial similarity between two shapes by showing a common subset of points. This can be explained using the MayerVietoris formulas that we develop for ordinary, relative and extended persisten...
متن کاملStochastic Multiresolution Persistent Homology Kernel
We introduce a new topological feature representation for point cloud objects. Specifically, we construct a Stochastic Multiresolution Persistent Homology (SMURPH) kernel which represents an object’s persistent homology at different resolutions. Under the SMURPH kernel two objects are similar if they have similar number and sizes of “holes” at these resolutions. Our multiresolution kernel can c...
