Symmetry-Driven hyper feature GCN for skeleton-based gait recognition

作者:

Highlights:

• SDHF-GCN is the first work that models the skeleton-based graph structure with graph-based neural network in gait recognition task.

• The symmetry perceptual principle enforces the dependencies between related joints and suppress the noises caused by joint estimation.

• Hierarchical features can improve the expressive and discriminative power of the gait features.

• SDHF-GCN renders substantial improvements over mainstream methods, especially in the coat-wearing scenario.

• Silhouette-based and skeleton-based action patterns are certified to be highly complementary.
