Human Body Part Selection by Group Lasso of Motion for Model-Free Gait Recognition

Gait recognition is an emerging biometric technology that identifies people through the analysis of the way they walk. The challenge of model-free based gait recognition is to cope with various intra-class variations such as clothing variations, carrying conditions and angle variations that adversely affect the recognition performance. This paper proposes a method to select the most discriminative human body part based on group Lasso of motion to reduce the intra-class variation so as to improve the recognition performance. The proposed method is evaluated using CASIA Gait Dataset B. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique gives promising results.
