Gait Recognition of Acceleration Sensor for Smart Phone Based on Multiple Classifier Fusion

Gait, as a kind of biological feature, has a profound value in personnel identification. This paper analyzes gait characteristics based on acceleration sensors of smart phones and proposes a new gait recognition method. First, in view of the existing methods in the process of extraction of gait features, a large number of redundant calculations, cycle detection error, and the phase deviation issue during the week put forward the Shape Context (SC) and Linear Time Normalized (LTN) combining SCLTN calibration method of gait cycle sequence matching, to represent the whole extract typical gait cycle gait. In view of the existing extracted gait features are still some conventional features; the velocity change of relatively uniform acceleration and the change of acceleration per unit time are proposed as new features. Secondly, combining new features with traditional features to form a new feature is set for training alternative feature set, from which the training time and recognition effect of multiple classifiers are screened. Finally, a new multiclassifier fusion method, Multiple Scale Voting (MSV), is proposed to fuse the results of Multiple classifiers to obtain the final classification results. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, gait data of 32 testers are collected. The final experimental results show that the new feature has good separability, and the recognition rate of fusion feature set after MSV algorithm is 98.42%.
