Identification and Reconstruction of Complete Gait Cycles for Person Identification in Crowded Scenes
This paper addresses the problem of gait recognition in the presence of occlusions. Recognition of people using their gait has been an active research area and many successful algorithms have been presented. However to this point non of the methods addresses the problem of occlusion. Most of the current algorithms need a full gait cycle for recognition. In this paper we present a scheme for reconstruction of full gait cycles, which can be used as preprocessing step for any state-of-the-art gait recognition method. We test this on the TUM-IITKGP gait recognition database and show a significant performance gain in the case of occlusions.

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of gait recognition in the presence of occlusions. Recognition of people using their gait has been an active research area and many successful algorithms have been presented. However to this point non of the methods addresses the problem of occlusion. Most of the current algorithms need a full gait cycle for recognition. In this paper we present a scheme for reconstruction of full gait cycles, which can be used as preprocessing step for any state-of-the-art gait recognition method. We test this on the TUM-IITKGP gait recognition database and show a significant performance gain in the case of occlusions.
