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...Keywords
