Abstract

Gait represents a potential biometric as humans can perceive it. It is attractive because it requires no contact and less likely to be concealed. In gait recognition processes, gait image segmentation is important to final recognition result. In this paper, based on background subtraction, a segmentation method is proposed. The experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
