Robust gait recognition using gait energy image and band-limited phase-only correlation

Abstract

Variations in clothing or taking something during walking change a walker's appearance, making the problem of gait recognition much more difficult. In this paper, we exploit Band-Limited Phase-Only Correlation (BLPOC) method combine Gait Energy Image (GEI) for gait recognition. We use BLPOC method for feature extraction and matching in GEI. The results of experiments conducted on gait dataset CASIA-B show that BLPOC based method is significant robust on the walker's appearance change compare to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in GEI. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
