• Abstract: In this paper we evaluate running gait as an attribute for video person re-identification in a long-distance running event. We show that running gait recognition achieves competitive performance compared to appearance-based approaches in the cross-camera retrieval task and that gait and appearance features are complementary to each other. For gait, the arm swing during running is less distinguishable when using binary gait silhouettes, due to ambiguity in the torso region. We propose to use human semantic parsing to create partial gait silhouettes where the torso is left out. Leaving out the torso improves recognition results by allowing the arm swing to be more visible in the frontal and oblique viewing angles, which offers hints that arm swings are somewhat personal. Experiments show an increase of 3.2% mAP on the CampusRun and increased accuracy with 4.8% in the frontal and rear view on CASIA-B, compared to using the full body silhouettes.

  Gait recognition aims to identify a person based on their walking sequences, serving as a useful biometric modality. In representing a person's walking sequence, silhouettes and skeletons are the two primary modalities used. We explore the use of a two-stream representation of skeletons for gait recognition, alongside silhouettes.

  Two common modalities used for representing the walking sequence of a person are silhouettes and joint skeletons. In this paper, we combine the silhouettes and skeletons and refine the framewise joint predictions for gait recognition. With temporal information from the silhouette sequences, we show that the refined skeletons can improve gait recognition performance without extra annotations.

Within DME, we propose GaitPattern, which is inspired by the double helical gait pattern used in traditional gait analysis.

Our results suggest that recognizing people by their gait in real surveillance scenarios is feasible and the underlying gait pattern is probably the true reason why video person re-idenfification works in practice.
