A gait recognition method based on human silhouette changes for gait feature representation and extraction is proposed. The image sequence is preprocessed to extract and sample the binary human silhouette images
and two stride lengths are then estimated by analyzing a motion signal based on region histogram. By accumulating the appearance and disappearance of silhouettes between the neighbor frames
two sets of motion history images are constructed to represent the gait features. The wavelet moment invariants are employed to extract the features of these images for classification and recognition. Experiments on Soton gait database show that these algorithms enable to sufficiently describe temporal and spatial information
and largely reduce computation dimension; the feature vectors with wavelet moments are invariant to translation
scale change and rotation to provide localized and multi-resolution capacity with a correct classification rate of 88.20%.
