Abstract
One of the most attractive biometric techniques is gait recognition, since its potential for human identification at a distance. But gait recognition is still challenging in real applications due to the effect of many variations on the appearance and shape. Usually, appearance-based methods need to compute gait energy image (GEI) which is extracted from the human silhouettes. GEI is an image that is obtained by averaging the silhouettes and as result the temporal information is removed. The body joints are invariant to changing clothing and carrying conditions. We propose a novel pose-based gait recognition approach that is more robust to the clothing and carrying variations. At the same time, a pose-based temporal-spatial network (PTSN) is proposed to extract the temporal-spatial features, which effectively improve the performance of gait recognition. Experiments evaluated on the challenging CASIA B dataset, show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in both carrying and clothing conditions.
