Title A name given to the resource An overlap-based human gait cycle detection Subject The topic of the resource Gait; Gait cycle; Overlap; Silhouette; Zero-crossing Description An account of the resource Identification of a person by his/her style of walking is referred as gait recognition. Gait is one among the biometric used for human identification. In gait recognition, an inevitable step for accurate feature extraction is gait cycle detection. In this paper, a novel gait cycle detection algorithm based on the concept of overlap between legs during locomotion is proposed. To identify overlap, zero-crossing counts of silhouette frames as well as bottom halves of silhouette frames are considered. The efficiency of this algorithm is tested using normal walking sequence of subjects with 90 viewing angle from CASIA B as well as TUM-IITKGP human gait databases. The results obtained shows that gait cycle can be easily and efficiently detected with zero-crossing count of silhouette frames. Further zero-crossing counts taken from bottom halves of silhouette frames gives better performance. Copyright 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
