Description/Abstract

We describe a marker-less system for analysing and classifying human gait motion by combining a statistical approach and motion tracking with topological analysis guided by anatomical knowledge. The marker-less gait analysis system consists of three stages: detection and extraction of the moving human body and its contour from image sequences; extraction of human gait motion by the joint angles and body points; and kinematic analysis and feature extraction for classifying the gait pattern. The periodic motion of human gait is described by symmetry, and a 2D stick figure is used to rep-resent the human gait model. The usefulness of proposed method is demonstrated in marker-less gait analysis with comparison to biomechanical data.
