Abstract
GAIT is defined as a person's manner of walking. While the computer vision community has progressed the identification of individuals by means of their gait, there are many difficulties which are not settled yet. Especially, dependency to the direction of walking is very serious. That is, extracted gait features become individualized according to the direction of walking, even if the camera is fixed. In this paper we propose an improvement to reduce this dependency based on homography. We establish a direction of walking through the silhouette of gait then estimate the planar homography by means of simple operations. Through transformation using planar homography we reduce dependency to the ..
