Abstract
Gait analyses have recently gained attention as methods of identification of individuals at a distance from a camera. However, appearance changes due to view direction changes cause difficulties for gait recognition systems. Here, we propose a method of gait recognition from various view directions using frequency-domain features and a view transformation model. We first construct a spatio-temporal silhouette volume of a walking person and then extract frequency-domain features of the volume by Fourier analysis based on gait periodicity. Next, our view transformation model is obtained with a training set of multiple persons from multiple view directions. In a recognition phase, the model transforms gallery features into the same view direction as that of an input feature, and so the features match each other. Experiments involving gait recognition from 24 view directions demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
