Abstract
Gait is a vital biometric process for human identification in the domain of machine learning. In this article, a new method is implemented for human gait recognition based on accurate segmentation and multi-level features extraction. Four major steps are performed including: a) enhancement of motion region in frame by the implementation of linear transformation with HSI color space; b) Region of Interest (ROI) detection based on parallel implementation of optical flow and background subtraction; c) shape and geometric features extraction and parallel fusion; d) Multi-class support vector machine (MSVM) utilization for recognition. The presented approach reduces error rate and increases the CCR. Extensive experiments are done on three data sets namely CASIA-A, CASIA-B and CASIA-C which present different variations in clothing and carrying conditions. The proposed method achieved maximum recognition results of 98.6% on CASIA-A, 93.5% on CASIA-B and 97.3% on CASIA-C, respectively.
