Abstract
Gait recognition has become an increasingly promising area of research in the search for noninvasive
and effective methods of person identification. Its potential applications in security systems and
medical diagnosis make it an exciting field with wide-ranging implications. However, precisely
recognizing and assessing gait patterns is difficult, particularly in changing situations or from multiple
perspectives. In this study, we utilized the widely used CASIA-B dataset to observe the performance
of our proposed gait recognition model, with the aim of addressing some of the existing limitations
in this field. Fifty individuals are randomly selected from the dataset, and the resulting data are split
evenly for training and testing purposes. We begin by excerpting features from gait photos using two
well-known deep learning networks, MobileNetV1 and Xception. We then combined these features
and reduced their dimensionality via principal component analysis (PCA) to improve the model’s
performance. We subsequently assessed the model using two distinct classifiers: a random forest and
a one against all support vector machine (OaA-SVM). The findings indicate that the OaA-SVM classifier
manifests superior performance compared to the others, with a mean accuracy of 98.77% over eleven
different viewing angles. This study is conducive to the development of effective gait recognition
algorithms that can be applied to heighten people’s security and promote their well-being.
