1. INTRODUCTION

Gait recognition is a kind of biometrics using the manner of walking to recognize an individual. More formal definition of biometrics is given by [1], “Gait recognition refers to automatic identification of an individual based on the style of walking”.Gait is treated as a sequence of holistic binary patterns Gait recognition Approaches can be broadly categorized into the model-based approach, where human body structure is explicitly modeled, and the model-free approach, where (silhouettes). Many studies have now shown that it is possible to recognize people by the way they walk. It is well-known that biometrics is a powerful tool for reliable automated person identification, but at present, none of the conventional biometrics like fingerprints recognition.

Iris recognition can work well from a large distance. In visual surveillance, the distances between the cameras and the people under surveillance are often large. In these situations, it is almost impossible to acquire the detailed conventional biometric information. Unlike other biometrics, gait can be

captured from a distant camera, without drawing the attention of the observed subject.

The performance of image-based gait recognition is not very good because Features extracted from image sequences have a little difference with the original information included in the gait. There is no efficient algorithm proposed yet to minimize the difference between the three dimensional information and features extracted from projected images [3].

For simplicity, contours are approximated by a set of membership function. and all control points are stored in the database. Distance matrix is introduced, which is constructed from curve to curve distance measurement between the test and database contours.

3. PROPOSED ALGORITHM

In this paper, we have proposed a new algorithm for recognizing gait system. This algorithm is based on Gaussian membership function. The proposed gait recognition system consists of three units: -(I) Image Preprocessing.(II) Feature Extraction.(III) Gait Recognition.

3.1 Image Preprocessing

In our experiments, there are two assumptions for the human walking sequences: (1) the camera is static and the body in the field of view is not occluded.(2) the image sequence of side-view is used.

Fig 1. Proposed Algorithm

Background subtraction

A simple background extraction method is to subtract a background model from the current frame. This method is based on pixel level processing. The extracted foreground is used for recognition and tracking. This is a very simple and convenient method in motion detection. The difficulty of this method is not the subtraction computation, but maintaining the background model.

There are several classic background subtraction methods. The following methods have self-adaptive ability.1). Mean & threshold method: first compute the mean of background pixels. It is a new biometrics recognition technology. Gait recognition aimed essentially to recognize person by automatically extracting movement characteristic of walking person in the video. Foreground pixels are those that differ by more than a threshold. 2). Mean & variance method update the mean and variance continuously, and then compute the distance. If the distance is larger than the threshold, set the pixels to be the foreground. The gait of a person is best brought out in the side-view [5]. Video of a walking individual is captured by camera and sequence frames are extracted from that video. Each frame is converted into grayscale if it is a color image.

Grayscale images are used in this work because these images are entirely sufficient for our tasks and so there is no need to use more complicated and harder-to-process color images.

computer vision community and a number of gait metrics have been developed. An important issue in gait is the extraction of appropriate salient features that will effectively capture the gait characteristics. The features must be reasonably robust to operating conditions and should yield good discriminability across individuals. A fast and efficient method is adopted to select only most discriminative features.

3.2.1 Key Frames Generation

We determine the key frames of a walking gait by observing the different phases of a human walk cycle as shown in Figure. The first key is defined at the pose where front leg is standing straight while the back leg is bend and slight above the ground. The second key is at the location where the front leg’s foot is flat on the ground and back leg’s toe touches the ground. The third key is defined as the pose where the back leg’s foot if flat on the ground and front leg’s ankle touches the ground. The fourth key will return back to the first key and complete the cycle.

3.2.2 Computation of Gaussian membership function

The Gaussian Membership function was chosen because of its popularity and simplicity.

The formula is given below [2]:-

μ A(x) = -exp (x – m)2/2σ2

Where X represents the crisp data,μ represents the membership function of x,m represents the mean of all the crisp data x in the distribution andσ represents the variance of all the crisp data in the distribution.

The variance σ can be represented mathematically as

σ = √ (Σ(x – m) 2/n)

Where n is the number of angles in the distribution,x represents the crisp data andm represents the mean of all the crisp data x in the distribution.

The Gaussian membership function was used to fuzzify all the crisp data obtained. The data for each subject was stored in the knowledge base and used for the inference when a gait pattern or signature is to be tested, classified and recognized. The actual Gaussian membership function obtained for the crisp data for all the four patterns associated with the five subjects.

Once the control points are given, the curve shape is determined.

3.3 Gait Recognition

The experiment involves capturing subtle changes in an individual’s walk, taking into consideration the variation in angles of the various parts of the body or the amplitude of the

persons walking pattern. There are three different stages:Stage 1: Video SequenceStage 2: Points selection.Stage 3: Points Processing

Video Sequence

Each subject had a total of five markers (objects capable of reflecting light over a camera) attached to the following parts of their body:1. The Shoulder2. The Hip3. The Knee4. The Ankle5. The Toe

The video of each subject’s gait pattern was captured randomly using the installed camera. For each captured gait pattern, a mark-in point and mark-out point was chosen arbitrarily. The mark-in point represents the first point in the captured gait video where all the markers were visible, while the mark out point represents the last point in the video where the five markers were visible. These mark-in points and mark-out points were arbitrary in the sense that different points were chosen for each subjects captured gait video.

Points selection

After the mark-in and mark-out points were chosen for each captured gait video, the data points were cropped between the start and finish markers. Whenever the markers exceeded the software’s default minimum and maximum outline, the setup was changed 6 to accommodate the excesses. The cropped data points were digitized automatically by the software using the centriod of each marker. For points like those of the hips which could not be digitized automatically by the software, as a result of the obstruction caused by the arm during the gait, the cursor location was used to digitize the points instead.

Points Processing

The digitized points were processed by the process wizard in the software. The 2-dimensional angles of rotation of the marked parts of the body were saved in system as database. Reflex angles were recorded for the hip, torso and ankle movement, while obtuse angles were recorded for the knee movement as shown in the stick diagram below. We adopted a

simple and straightforward way in order to test the recognition capability of our proposed method. First we calculate the variance of x- and y- coordinates of any curve of all frames of an individual separately and then finally calculate the mean of x- coordinate with its corresponding y- coordinate. In contrast to other system, proposed features are very simple and require low storages.

Advantages of Proposed Method:

1. The Gaussian Membership function is chosen because of its popularity and simplicity.2. It does not require silhouette images and GEI images.3. Computational speed becomes high due to use of simple mathematical calculations like mean and variance.

CONCLUSION

The membership functions associated with each resemblance is also displayed we proposed a novel gait recognition method based on the Gaussian membership function. First we select the points on sequence frames, calculate the coordinates of Gaussian membership function from those points, draw the curves and finally, calculate thevariance and mean from Gaussian membership function coordinates. These variance and mean are used to fulfill the person identification.
