Automatic gait recognition by symmetry analysis

Automatic gait recognition by symmetry analysis
Automatic gait recognition by symmetry analysis
We describe a new method for automatic gait recognition based on analysing the symmetry of human motion using the Generalised Symmetry Operator. This approach is reinforced by the psychologists' view that gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion and results show that gait can indeed be recognised by symmetry analysis.

Abstract

We describe a new method for automatic gait recognition based on analysing the symmetry of human motion using the Generalised Symmetry Operator. This approach is reinforced by the psychologists' view that gait is a symmetrical pattern of motion and results show that gait can indeed be recognised by symmetry analysis.
