Abstract:

To solve the problem of influence factors such as view angle and other external factors of variation on gait recognition,we propose a novel and practical gait recognition method combining Long Short Term Memory and Convolutional Neural Networks.Focusing on the three-dimensionality of gait,the new method uses human three-dimensional (3D) pose estimation to obtain 3D coordinates of joints.Then,by analyzing the periodic motion constraint relationships between joints in 3D space,a robust 3D gait constraint model is designed from time and space dimensions.In the model,the motion constraint matrix characterizes both the temporal constraint relationships between joint motion and human body structure,while the action feature matrix characterizes the spatial constraint relationships of the joint position.In addition,based on the characteristics of the 3D gait constraint model,a parallel deep gait recognition network consisting of Long Short Term Memory and Convolutional Neural Networks is developed to extract spatiotemporal features of the model.Finally,the proposed method is evaluated on multi-view gait database CASIA-B.Experimental results show that the recognition rate of the new method is higher than that of some classic methods.At the same time,the recognition rate does not decrease significantly in the case of great view angle changes,illustrating that our method has a state-of-the-art performance and is robust to view changes.

Key words: deep learning, gait recognition, human body pose, pose feature matrix
