In Different Scenarios MobileNet-V1 for Cross-view Gait Recognition

Abstract

Gait recognition aims to identify people from a distance by analyzing their walking style. Nevertheless, the efficacy of recognition drops significantly under cross-view and, appearance-based variations such as carrying and clothing. In this study, the performance of the MobileNet-V1 deep network is evaluated in various scenarios to address the cross-view gait recognition problem. In the first scenario, the fine-tuned MobileNet-V1 is evaluated on Gait Energy Images (GEI) as input data, while in the second scenario, the fine-tuned MobileNet-V1 is assessed with Optical Flows and masked RGB frames input data. In the last scenario, the first two scenarios are combined over a single fused deep network based on finetuned MobileNet-V1, and a single recognition process is performed using two different fused features data; GEI features with Optical Flow features, and GEI features with masked RGB frame features. In the evaluation process, a comprehensive data set for the cross-view gait recognition problem, CASIA-B is used for the experiments. The obtained results demonstrate that in the last scenario, the contribution of masked RGB frame features to the recognition rate of GEI is more significant. © 2024 IEEE.
