Gait Analysis for Human Identification in Frequency Domain

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the spatio-temporal human characteristic of moving silhouettes in frequency domain, and find key Fourier descriptors that have better discriminatory capability for recognition than the other Fourier descriptors. A large number of experimental results and analysis show that the proposed algorithm based on the key Fourier descriptors can not only greatly reduce the gait data dimensionality, but also lighten the computation cost, with a satisfactory CCR. Besides that, classification performance can be further improved using feature fusion.
