title: Automatic gait recognition via statistical approaches for extended template features.
abstract: A gait recognition system using extended template features is presented. A proposed statistical approach is applied for feature extraction from spatial and temporal templates. This method can be used to reduce data dimensionality and to optimize the class separability of different gait sequences simultaneously. Dimensionality reduction is achieved by template extraction followed by principal component analysis. Gait recognition is achieved in the canonical space using a measure of accumulated distance as the metric. By incorporating spatial and temporal information into an extended feature, gait recognition becomes more robust and accurate than using spatial or temporal features alone.
