FASE Module Enabled Recognition of Individuals Using Distinct Gait Patterns

Abstract

Extensive research has been conducted on gait, the walking pattern, and multiple methods have been created to utilize it as a biometric for identifying individuals. Nevertheless, there has been limited exploration of identifying individuals in running videos. A novel method is introduced in the paper that extends the feature-based approach to recognize individuals by their running patterns. The gait recognition performance is boosted in this work through the introduction of the Feature Analysis and Sample Elimination (FASE) module, which selects significant data samples using cluster formation, analysis, and elimination. Later on, the assignment of a testing sample to the training sample is achieved through the use of the proposed classification method. The experiments utilize the KTH, OU-ISIR A, and Weizmann databases. The obtained experimental results showcase the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2024 IEEE.
