    Human identification system using 3D skeleton-based gait features and LSTM model
    (Academic Press Inc., 2022) Rashmi, M.; Guddeti, R.M.R.
    Vision-based gait emerged as the preferred biometric in smart surveillance systems due to its unobtrusive nature. Recent advancements in low-cost depth sensors resulted in numerous 3D skeleton-based gait analysis techniques. For spatial–temporal analysis, existing state-of-the-art algorithms use frame-level information as the timestamp. This paper proposes gait event-level spatial–temporal features and LSTM-based deep learning model that treats each gait event as a timestamp to identify individuals from walking patterns observed in single and multi-view scenarios. On four publicly available datasets, the proposed system stands superior to state-of-the-art approaches utilizing a variety of conventional benchmark protocols. The proposed system achieved a recognition rate of greater than 99% in low-level ranks during the CMC test, making it suitable for practical applications. The statistical study of gait event-level features demonstrated retrieved features’ discriminating capacity in classification. Additionally, the ANOVA test performed on findings from K folds demonstrated the proposed system's significance in human identification. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

    Exploiting skeleton-based gait events with attention-guided residual deep learning model for human identification
    (Springer, 2023) Rashmi, M.; Guddeti, R.M.R.
    Human identification using unobtrusive visual features is a daunting task in smart environments. Gait is among adequate biometric features when the camera cannot correctly capture the human face due to environmental factors. In recent years, gait-based human identification using skeleton data has been intensively studied using a variety of feature extractors and more sophisticated deep learning models. Although skeleton data is susceptible to changes in covariate variables, resulting in noisy data, most existing algorithms employ a single feature extraction technique for all frames to generate frame-level feature maps. This results in degraded performance and additional features, necessitating increased computing power. This paper proposes a robust feature extractor that extracts a quantitative summary of gait event-specific information, thereby reducing the total number of features throughout the gait cycle. In addition, a novel Attention-guided LSTM-based deep learning model with residual connections is proposed to learn the extracted features for gait recognition. The proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art works on five publicly available datasets on various benchmark evaluation protocols and metrics. Further, the CMC test revealed that the proposed model obtained higher than 97% Accuracy in lower-level ranks on these datasets. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
