Abstract

As a new biometric recognition technique, gait behavior recognition is mainly based on the individual behavior analysis of human walking. Among them, the recognition of gait classification is a key step and an important task in the process of gait behavior recognition. Firstly, this paper analyzes the factors of data noise, and summarizes the methods of data preprocessing. Secondly, it analyzes and discusses the classification of gait features. Then it compares the algorithms of gait behavior classification and recognition; The gait classification recognition method based on Hidden Markov is reviewed, which has certain theoretical guiding significance and application value.
