A Feasibility Study of View-independent Gait Identification

Abstract

This report reviews work on the identification of people in video recordings by their gait, or walking style. It considers the adjustments needed when the subjects walk other than straight across the image and may not offer the convenient side (fronto-parallel) view. It describes a study of this case using video sequences of walking people, and concludes that the available measurements of gait, apart from head height, are of limited use.
