Abstract
The recognition of a person from his or her gait has been a recent focus in computer vision because of its unique advantages such as being non-invasive and human friendly. However, gait recognition is not as reliable an identifier as other biometrics. In this paper, we applied a hierarchical fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithm and a neural network ensemble to the gait recognition problem. A diverse set of potential neural networks are generated to increase the reliability of the gait recognition, not only the best ones. Furthermore, a set of component neural networks is selected to build a gait recognition system such that generalization errors are minimized and negative correlation is maximized. Experiments are carried out with the NLPR and SOTON gait databases and the effectiveness of the proposed method for gait recognition is demonstrated and compared to previous methods.
