• Abstract summary: Gait recognition holds the promise to robustly identify subjects based on walking patterns instead of appearance information. In this work, we propose a novel, point-based Contour-Pose representation, which compactly expresses both body shape and body parts information. We further propose a local-to-global architecture, called GaitContour, to leverage this novel representation.

• Abstract: Gait recognition holds the promise to robustly identify subjects based on walking patterns instead of appearance information. In recent years, this field has been dominated by learning methods based on two principal input representations: dense silhouette masks or sparse pose keypoints. In this work, we propose a novel, point-based Contour-Pose representation, which compactly expresses both body shape and body parts information. We further propose a local-to-global architecture, called GaitContour, to leverage this novel representation and efficiently compute subject embedding in two stages. The first stage consists of a local transformer that extracts features from five different body regions. The second stage then aggregates the regional features to estimate a global human gait representation. Such a design significantly reduces the complexity of the attention operation and improves efficiency and performance simultaneously. Through large scale experiments, GaitContour is shown to perform significantly better than previous point-based methods, while also being significantly more efficient than silhouette-based methods. On challenging datasets with significant distractors, GaitContour can even outperform silhouette-based methods.

  We propose a framework, termed GAit DEtection and Recognition (GADER), for human authentication in challenging outdoor scenarios. GADER builds discriminative features through a novel gait recognition method, where only frames containing gait information are used. We evaluate our method on multiple State-of-The-Arts(SoTA) gait baselines and demonstrate consistent improvements on indoor and outdoor datasets.

  In recent years, most gait recognition methods used the person's silhouette to extract the gait features. Model-based methods do not suffer from these problems and are able to represent the temporal motion of body joints. In this work, we propose an approach based on Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) that combines higher-order inputs, and residual networks.

  Two dominant gait recognition works are appearance-based and model-based, which extract features from silhouettes and skeletons, respectively. This paper proposes a CNN-based branch taking silhouettes as input and a GCN-based branch taking skeletons as input. For better gait representation in the GCN-based branch, we present a fully connected graph convolution operator to integrate multi-scale graph convolutions.
