Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2022-08-17 v1

Abstract

Biometric authentication using gait has become a promising field due to its unobtrusive nature. Recent approaches in model-based gait recognition techniques utilize spatio-temporal graphs for the elegant extraction of gait features. However, existing methods often rely on multi-scale operators for extracting long-range relationships among joints resulting in biased weighting. In this paper, we present HEATGait, a gait recognition system that improves the existing multi-scale graph convolution by efficient hop-extraction technique to alleviate the issue. Combined with preprocessing and augmentation techniques, we propose a powerful feature extractor that utilizes ResGCN to achieve state-of-the-art performance in model-based gait recognition on the CASIA-B gait dataset.
