چکیده

The advances in computing power, availability of large-capacity storage devices and research in computer vision have contributed to recent developments in gait recognition. The ease of acquiring human videos by low cost equipments makes gait recognition much easier and less intrusive than other biometric systems. In this paper, a gait recognition system using a space-model-based approach is proposed. The proposed mechanism is able to detect moving object of interest, while track them and analyzing their gait for recognition. The system captures videos of subjects in front a stationary camera. The identification module makes use of the shape and dynamics of the system using HMM. Then it models the gait properties by accepting the feature vectors as input and model the dynamics through state transitions and observation probabilities. The experimental results show that the proposed gait recognition system successfully recognizes humans using their gait.

Factorial Hidden Markov Models for Gait Recognition

Gait recognition is an effective approach for human identification at a distance. During the last decade, the theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) has been used successfully in the field of gait recognition. However the potentials of some new HMM extensions still need to be exploited. In this paper, a novel alternative gait modeling approach based on Factorial Hidden Markov Models (FHMMs) is p...

Human Gait Classi cation Based on Hidden

This paper describes a system for automatic gait analysis. In most clinical systems markers are used to determine the trajectories. We use a system for object recognition without segmentation to track body parts. From these trajectories periodic features are extracted. Another method to determine feature vectors is based on the optical ow computed by monotony operators. Both methods do not pres...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
