Recognising human and animal movement by symmetry

Abstract
We show how the symmetry of motion can be extractedby using the Generalised Symmetry Operator for analysingmotion and for gait recognition. This operator, rather thanrelying on the borders of a shape or on generalappearance, locates features by their symmetricalproperties. This approach is reinforced by the view frompsychology that human gait is a symmetrical pattern ofmotion, and by other works. We applied our new methodto compare animal gait, and for recognition by gait.Results show...
