Description
Summary:Gait recognition is a biometric technology that identifies individuals based on the unique characteristics of their gait. With the advancement of deep learning based computer vision technology, gait recognition has significantly improved in performance and gained significant attention due to its non-invasive nature. This paper proposes a vision-based gait recognition model that enhances performance by applying deformable convolution in the temporal dimension. Gait is a periodic behavior, and understanding the body’s changing patterns during walking is crucial for improving recognition accuracy. Important features for gait recognition can appear in both short and long moments of the walking process. Therefore, this study proposes a model that performs deformable convolution in the temporal dimension to effectively extract such features. This allows for a more flexible understanding of temporal patterns, eliminating the need for hand-crafted design of filters for extracting temporal features and enabling the model to learn important features for gait recognition that appear in both short and long time intervals in a unified manner. As a result, the proposed model achieved state-of-the-art performance on the CASIA-B dataset.
