On the Relationship of Human Walking and Running: Automatic Person Identification by Gait
The intimate relationship between human walking and running lies within the skeleto-muscular structure. This is expressed as a mapping that can transform computer vision derived gait signatures from running to walking and vice versa, for purposes of deployment in gait as a biometric or for animation in computer graphics. The computer vision technique can extract leg motion by temporal template matching with a model defined by forced coupled oscillators as the basis. The (biometric) signature is derived from Fourier analysis of the variation in the motion of the thigh and lower leg. These signatures can be used for recognition by running or by walking. In fact, the mapping between these gait modes clusters better than the original signatures (of which running is the more potent) and can be used for recognition purposes alone, or to buttress both of the signatures. Moreover, the two signatures can be made invariant to gait mode by using the new mapping.

Abstract

The intimate relationship between human walking and running lies within the skeleto-muscular structure. This is expressed as a mapping that can transform computer vision derived gait signatures from running to walking and vice versa, for purposes of deployment in gait as a biometric or for animation in computer graphics. The computer vision technique can extract leg motion by temporal template matching with a model defined by forced coupled oscillators as the basis. The (biometric) signature is derived from Fourier analysis of the variation in the motion of the thigh and lower leg. These signatures can be used for recognition by running or by walking. In fact, the mapping between these gait modes clusters better than the original signatures (of which running is the more potent) and can be used for recognition purposes alone, or to buttress both of the signatures. Moreover, the two signatures can be made invariant to gait mode by using the new mapping.
