Abstract Personalized gait curves are generated to enhance patient adaptability to gait trajectories used for passive training in the early stage of rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients. The article utilizes the random forest algorithm to construct a gait parameter model, which maps the relationship between parameters such as height, weight, age, gender, and gait speed, achieving prediction of key points on the gait curve. To enhance prediction accuracy, an attention mechanism is introduced into the algorithm to focus more on the main features. Meanwhile, to ensure high similarity between the reconstructed gait curve and the normal one, More >

Abstract Subject identification via the subject’s gait is challenging due to variations in the subject’s carrying and dressing conditions in real-life scenes. This paper proposes a novel targeted 3-dimensional (3D) gait model (3DGait) represented by a set of interpretable 3DGait descriptors based on a 3D parametric body model. The 3DGait descriptors are utilised as invariant gait features in the 3DGait recognition method to address object carrying and dressing. The 3DGait recognition method involves 2-dimensional (2D) to 3DGait data learning based on 3D virtual samples, a semantic gait parameter estimation Long Short Time Memory (LSTM) network (3D-SGPE-LSTM), a feature fusion… More >

Abstract The demand for a non-contact biometric approach for candidate identification has grown over the past ten years. Based on the most important biometric application, human gait analysis is a significant research topic in computer vision. Researchers have paid a lot of attention to gait recognition, specifically the identification of people based on their walking patterns, due to its potential to correctly identify people far away. Gait recognition systems have been used in a variety of applications, including security, medical examinations, identity management, and access control. These systems require a complex combination of technical, operational, and… More >

Abstract Hand gestures have been used as a significant mode of communication since the advent of human civilization. By facilitating human-computer interaction (HCI), hand gesture recognition (HGRoc) technology is crucial for seamless and error-free HCI. HGRoc technology is pivotal in healthcare and communication for the deaf community. Despite significant advancements in computer vision-based gesture recognition for language understanding, two considerable challenges persist in this field: (a) limited and common gestures are considered, (b) processing multiple channels of information across a network takes huge computational time during discriminative feature extraction. Therefore, a novel hand vision-based convolutional neural network… More >

Abstract Biometric gait recognition is a lesser-known but emerging and effective biometric recognition method which enables subjects’ walking patterns to be recognized. Existing research in this area has primarily focused on feature analysis through the extraction of individual features, which captures most of the information but fails to capture subtle variations in gait dynamics. Therefore, a novel feature taxonomy and an approach for deriving a relationship between a function of one set of gait features with another set are introduced. The gait features extracted from body halves divided by anatomical planes on vertical, horizontal, and diagonal… More >

Abstract Freezing of Gait (FOG) is the most common and disabling gait disorder in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), which seriously affects the life quality and social function of patients. This paper proposes a FOG recognition method based on the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Firstly, VMD instead of the traditional time-frequency analysis method to complete adaptive decomposition to the FOG signal. Secondly, to improve the accuracy and speed of the recognition algorithm, use the CART model as the base classifier and perform the feature dimension reduction. Then use the RUSBoost ensemble algorithm to solve the problem… More >

Abstract Intelligent vision-based surveillance systems are designed to deal with the gigantic volume of videos captured in a particular environment to perform the interpretation of scenes in form of detection, tracking, monitoring, behavioral analysis, and retrievals. In addition to that, another evolving way of surveillance systems in a particular environment is human gait-based surveillance. In the existing research, several methodological frameworks are designed to use deep learning and traditional methods, nevertheless, the accuracies of these methods drop substantially when they are subjected to covariate conditions. These covariate variables disrupt the gait features and hence the recognition… More >

Abstract Gait is a biological typical that defines the method by that people walk. Walking is the most significant performance which keeps our day-to-day life and physical condition. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a weak bioelectric signal that portrays the functional state between the human muscles and nervous system to any extent. Gait classifiers dependent upon sEMG signals are extremely utilized in analysing muscle diseases and as a guide path for recovery treatment. Several approaches are established in the works for gait recognition utilizing conventional and deep learning (DL) approaches. This study designs an Enhanced Artificial Algae… More >

Abstract Gait recognition is an active research area that uses a walking theme to identify the subject correctly. Human Gait Recognition (HGR) is performed without any cooperation from the individual. However, in practice, it remains a challenging task under diverse walking sequences due to the covariant factors such as normal walking and walking with wearing a coat. Researchers, over the years, have worked on successfully identifying subjects using different techniques, but there is still room for improvement in accuracy due to these covariant factors. This paper proposes an automated model-free framework for human gait recognition in this… More >

Abstract Human gait recognition (HGR) is the process of identifying a subject (human) based on their walking pattern. Each subject is a unique walking pattern and cannot be simulated by other subjects. But, gait recognition is not easy and makes the system difficult if any object is carried by a subject, such as a bag or coat. This article proposes an automated architecture based on deep features optimization for HGR. To our knowledge, it is the first architecture in which features are fused using multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA). In the proposed method, original video frames… More >
