Abstract

Abstract

Gait recognition is susceptible to external factors such as camera viewpoints, clothing, and carrying conditions, which could lead to performance degradation. To address these issues, the technique of non-rigid point set registration is introduced into gait recognition, which is used to improve the dynamic perception ability of human morphological changes by utilizing the deformation field between adjacent gait frames to represent the displacement of human contours during walking. Accordingly, a dual-flow convolutional neural network-GaitDef exploiting human contour deformation field is proposed in this paper, which consists of deformation field and gait silhouette extraction branches. Besides, a multi-scale feature extraction module is designed for the sparsity of deformation field data to obtain multi-level spatial structure information of the deformation field. A dynamic difference capture module and a context information augmentation module are proposed to capture the changing characteristics of dynamic regions in gait silhouettes and consequently enhance gait representation ability by utilizing context information. The output features of the dual-branch network structure are fused to obtain the final gait representation. Extensive experimental results verify the effectiveness of GaitDef. The average Rank-1 accuracy of GaitDef can achieve 93.5%和68.3% on CASIA-B and CCPG datasets, respectively.
