A novel speed-invariant gait features called twofold information set (2FInS) features that capture both spatial and temporal variations in a gait cycle are proposed in this study. These features are obtained by applying first histogram of oriented gradients descriptors on the gait images followed by the representation of the underlying possibilistic uncertainty using the Hanman-Jeevan entropy function. The 2FInS features are validated on three databases: CASIA-C, OU-ISIR Treadmill-A and OU-ISIR Treadmill-D using Procrustes distance based classifier. In view of accounting both spatial and temporal information distributed throughout a gait cycle, the results obtained are superior to those of the existing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
