Abstract

In real-time situations such as airports, railway stations, and shopping complexes, etc. people walk in a group, and such a group of walking persons termed as multi-gait (MG). In these situations, occlusion is a serious issue that affects gait recognition performance. This issue of occlusion of body regions affects the extraction of gait features for the correct recognition of an object. The objective of this article is to reconstruct occluded regions at the preprocessing stage, which can be used for human recognition in the MG scenario. The article is divided into two folds. Firstly, we segment five regions of interest such as ankle, knee, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. We propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based neural network (NN) called hybrid NN to solve this problem. The performance of the proposed model is validated on our constructed dataset (SMVDU-MG), considering two view directions i.e. lateral (left to right) and oblique (left to right diagonal). Experimental results show that the proposed model gives better performance compared to an artificial neural network and alternating least square (ALS) method based on mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as a performance measure function.
