Abstract

This paper proposes a new video-based method of analyzing human gait which is a highly variable dynamic process. It captures a human gait of varying directions as a trajectory in the phase space. The proposed method includes two options of a stochastic process model and a self-organizing feature map as the tool of feature space representation and analysis. Test results show that the model is highly intuitive and we believe it can contribute to our understanding of human activity as well as gait behavior.
