Abstract

Gait is commonly defined as the movement pattern of the limbs over a hard substrate, and it serves as a source of identification information for various computer-vision and image-understanding techniques. A variety of parameters, such as human clothing, angle shift, walking style, occlusion, and so on, have a significant impact on gait-recognition systems, making the scene quite complex to handle. In this article, we propose a system that effectively handles problems associated with viewing angle shifts and walking styles in a real-time environment. The following steps are included in the proposed novel framework: (a) real-time video capture, (b) feature extraction using transfer learning on the ResNet101 deep model, and (c) feature selection using the proposed kurtosis-controlled entropy (KcE) approach, followed by a correlation-based feature fusion step. The most discriminant features are then classified using the most advanced machine learning classifiers. The simulation process is fed by the CASIA B dataset as well as a real-time captured dataset. On selected datasets, the accuracy is 95.26% and 96.60%, respectively. When compared to several known techniques, the results show that our proposed framework outperforms them all.
