Gait Sequence Analysis Using Frieze Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze walking people using a gait sequence representation that bypasses the need for frame-to-frame tracking of body parts. The gait representation maps a video sequence of silhouettes into a pair of two-dimensional spatio-temporal patterns that are periodic along the time axis. Mathematically, such patterns are called “frieze” patterns and associated symmetry groups “frieze groups”. With the help of a walking humanoid avatar, we explore variation in gait frieze patterns with respect to viewing angle, and find that the frieze groups of the gait patterns and their canonical tiles enable us to estimate viewing direction. In addition, analysis of periodic patterns allows us to determine the dynamic time warping and affine scaling that aligns two gait sequences from similar viewpoints. We show how gait alignment can be used to perform human identification and model-based body part segmentation.

Uniprojective Features for Gait Recognition
Recent studies have shown that shape cues should dominate gait recognition. This motivates us to perform gait recognition through shape features in 2D human silhouettes. In this paper, we propose six simple projective features to describe human gait and compare eight kinds of projective features to figure out which projective directions are important to walker recognition. First, we normalize e...

متن کاملVertical Ground Reaction Force Gait Patterns During Walking in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
The characteristics of vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) gait patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify VGRF gait features that discriminate between children with ASD and the peer control group. The VGRF data were obtained from 30 children with ASD and 30 normal healthy children aged 4 to 12 years. A three-dime...
متن کاملOptimal Probing Patterns for Sequencing by Hybridization
Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH) is a method for reconstructing a DNA sequence based on its k-mer content. This content, called the spectrum of the sequence, can be obtained from hybridization with a universal DNA chip. The main shortcoming of SBH is that it reliably reconstructs only sequences of length at most square root of the size of the chip. Frieze et al. [9] showed that by using gapped...
