- Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel gait recognition algorithm that is independent of viewpoints under certain constraints. First, we described the definition of the proposed gait feature and its constraints. Then we discussed a coordinate reconstruction method for spatial points under the constraints of monocular parallel lines. With this we could employ the relevant coordinate conversion factor to recover 3D coordinates of some key points from 2D monocular camera images. The human body was modeled and simplified as three connected sticks, and the parameters of that model were estimated using the proposed reconstruction method. Thus, we obtained viewpointindependent gait features represented by those parameters. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results revealed that the proposed gait features partially avoid the influence of viewpoint under ideal circumstances. Though correct classification rates are not high enough, it provides a useful tool for the identification of human gaits at arbitrary viewing angles.
