Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to recent advancements in gait recognition, which has become an important indicator for remote biometric identification where a person can be identified at a distance without direct contact. By studying the walking movement of a person, we can also determine normal gait behaviors and diagnose potential issues related to gait abnormalities. For example, evidence has shown there to be correlations between Parkinson’s disease and gait patterns. There are also other emerging applications of gait analysis, such as gender and age estimation using gait signatures.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring novel technological advances in gait recognition. We welcome novel contributions regarding design, analysis and algorithms for gait analysis in different fields. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Gait recognition;
  • Machine learning and deep learning;
  • Computer vision;
  • Biometrics;
  • Healthcare;
  • Smart surveillance;
  • Wearable sensors;
  • Data-driven monitoring;
  • Big data.

Gait recognition is a distinctive biometric technique that can identify pedestrians by their walking patterns from considerable distances. A critical challenge in gait recognition lies in effectively acquiring discriminative spatial-temporal representations from silhouettes that exhibit invariance to disturbances. In this paper, we present a novel gait recognition network by aggregating features in the spatial-temporal and view domains, which consists of two-path spatial-temporal feature fusion module and view embedding module. Specifically, two-path spatial-temporal feature fusion module firstly utilizes multi-scale feature extraction (MSFE) to enrich the input features with multiple convolution kernels of various sizes. Then, frame-level spatial feature extraction (FLSFE) and multi-scale temporal feature extraction (MSTFE) are parallelly constructed to capture spatial and temporal gait features of different granularities and these features are fused together to obtain muti-scale spatial-temporal features. FLSFE is designed to extract both global and local gait features by employing a specially designed residual operation. Simultaneously, MSTFE is applied to adaptively interact multi-scale temporal features and produce suitable motion representations in temporal domain. Taking into account the view information, we introduce a view embedding module to reduce the impact of differing viewpoints. Through the extensive experimentation over CASIA-B and OU-MVLP datasets, the proposed method has achieved superior performance to the other state-of-the-art gait recognition approaches. Full article

Gait is a kind of biological behavioral characteristic which can be recognized from a distance and has gained an increased interest nowadays. Many existing silhouette-based methods ignore the instantaneous motion of gait, which is an important factor in distinguishing people with similar shapes. To further emphasize the instantaneous motion factor in human gait, the Gait Optical Flow Image (GOFI) is proposed to add the instantaneous motion direction and intensity to original gait silhouettes. The GOFI also helps to leverage both the temporal and spatial condition noises. Then, the gait features are extracted by the Gait Optical Flow Network (GOFN), which contains a Set Transition (ST) architecture to aggregate the image-level features to the set-level features and an Inherent Feature Pyramid (IFP) to exploit the multi-scaled partial features. The combined loss function is used to evaluate the similarity between different gaits. Experiments are conducted on two widely used gait datasets, the CASIA-B and the CASIA-C. The experiments show that the GOFN performs better on both datasets, which shows the effectiveness of the GOFN. Full article
