PoseGait

PoseGait is a model-based gait recognition method with body pose and human prior knowledge. Our model PoseGait exploits human 3D pose estimated from images by Convolutional Neural Network as the input feature for gait recognition. The 3D pose, defined by the 3D coordinates of joints of the human body, is invariant to view changes and other external factors of variation.
