Definition
Gait recognition refers to automated vision methods that use video of human gait to recognize or to identify a person. Evaluation of gait recognition refers to the benchmarking of progress in the design of gait recognition algorithms on standard, common, datasets.
Introduction
Design of biometric algorithms and evaluation of performance goes hand in hand. It is important to constantly evaluate and analyze progress being at various levels of biometrics design. This evaluation can be of three types: at algorithm-level, at scenario-level, and at operational-level, roughly corresponding to the maturity of the biometric. Given the young nature of gait as a biometric source, relative to the mature biometrics such as fingerprints, current evaluations are necessarily at algorithm-level. The motivation behind algorithm-level evaluations is to explore possibilities, to understand limitations, and to push algorithmic research towards hard problems. Some of the...
