This paper describes the world's largest gait database with wide view variation, the "OU-ISIR gait database, multi-view large population dataset (OU-MVLP)", and its application to a statistically reliable performance evaluation of vision-based cross-view gait recognition. Specifically, we construct a gait dataset that includes 10,307 subjects (5114 males and 5193 females) from 14 view angles ranging 0°−90°, 180°−270°. In addition, we evaluate various approaches to gait recognition which are robust against view angles. By using our dataset, we can fully exploit a state-of-the-art method requiring a large number of training samples, e.g., CNN-based cross-view gait recognition method, and we validate effectiveness of such a family of the methods.

Abstract-This paper describes the world's largest gait database-the "OU-ISIR Gait Database, Large Population Dataset"-and its application to a statistically reliable performance evaluation of vision-based gait recognition. Whereas existing gait databases include at most 185 subjects, we construct a larger gait database that includes 4007 subjects (2135 males and 1872 females) with ages ranging from 1 to 94 years. The dataset allows us to determine statistically significant performance differences between currently proposed gait features. In addition, the dependences of gait-recognition performance on gender and age group are investigated and the results provide several novel insights, such as the gradual change in recognition performance with human growth.

This paper presents the largest inertial sensor-based gait database in the world, which is made open to the research community, and its application to a statistically reliable performance evaluation for gait-based personal authentication. We construct several datasets for both accelerometer and gyroscope of three inertial measurement units and a smartphone around the waist of a subject, which include at most 744 subjects (389 males and 355 females) with ages ranging from 2 to 78 years. The database has several advantages: a large number of subjects with a balanced gender ratio, variations of sensor types, sensor locations, and ground slope conditions. Therefore, we can reliably analyze the dependence of gait authentication performance on a number of factors such as gender, age group, sensor type, ground condition, and sensor location. The results with the latest existing authentication methods provide several insights for these factors.
