Trait of Gait: A Survey on Gait Biometrics
It addresses the need for a consolidated resource for researchers in gait biometrics, but it is incremental as it primarily reviews existing work.
This survey paper tackles the problem of summarizing and organizing research on gait biometrics, providing a comprehensive overview of methods, datasets, and advances in the field to aid future research.
Gait analysis is the study of the systematic methods that assess and quantify animal locomotion. The research on gait analysis has considerably evolved through time. It was an ancient art, and it still finds its application today in modern science and medicine. This paper describes how one's gait can be used as a biometric. It shall diversely cover salient research done within the field and explain the nuances and advances in each type of gait analysis. The prominent methods of gait recognition from the early era to the state of the art are covered. This survey also reviews the various gait datasets. The overall aim of this study is to provide a concise roadmap for anyone who wishes to do research in the field of gait biometrics.
