Abstract
In visual surveillance applications, gait is the preferred candidate for recognition of the identity of the subject under consideration. Gait is a behavioral biometric that has a large amount of redundancy, complex pattern distribution and very large variability, when multiple covariate exist. This demands robust representation and computationally efficient statistical processing approaches for improved performance. In this paper, a robust representation approach called Normal Distance Map and multilinear statistical discriminant analysis called Sparse Multilinear Discriminant Analysis is applied for improving robustness against covariate variation and increase recognition accuracy. Normal Distance Map captures geometry and shape of silhouettes so as to make representation robust and Sparse Multilinear Discriminant Analysis obtains projection matrices to preserve discrimination.
