Abstract

This paper has demonstrated a simple and robust interval type features based gait recognition approach. For each an individual, first gait energy image (GEI) is generated. Next, gradient matrices are obtained based on the neighborhood gradient computational procedures (i.e., horizontal/vertical, opposite, and diagonal pixels). Then, multi-interval features are extracted from these matrices in order to achieve the gait covariate conditions. For the gallery and probe interval matching, a new dissimilarity measure is proposed in this work by counting the minimum number of arithmetic operations required to transform one interval into the other. Lastly, a simple KNN classifier is incorporated in the classification procedure. Three standard datasets (Chinese Academy of sciences B and C) are used for the experimental procedures and satisfactory results are obtained. The effective comparative analysis with the current state-of-the-art algorithms has shown that the proposed approach is robust to changes in appearance and different walking speed conditions.
