Gait Recognition Based on 3D Holoscopic Gait Energy Image

Abstract

We present a novel system for gait recognition based on holoscopic rather than conventional imaging. The system is based on a novel gait template, the Holoscopic Gait Energy Image (HGEI), that is constructed from holoscopic rather than conventional images. Due the holoscopic recording approach, the proposed template captures richer information and the resultant system has increased capabilities. The proposed system is compared to the conventional approach for gait recognition using a newly recorded database and is experimentally shown to yield favourable results.
