Extraction and selection of gait recognition features using skeleton point detection and improved fuzzy decision
MEDICAL ENGINEERING & PHYSICS(2020)
Abstract
It is of great importance to effectively measure gait features and recognize the signature gait patterns for gait rehabilitation. In this work, we used a skeleton point detection to extract gait features and proposed an improved fuzzy decision to select the most significant features for classifying gait patterns. Thirteen gait recognition features were extracted from the obtained skeleton points data. Taking the extracted features as an input, our improved fuzzy similarity priority decision method has obtained important sequences of all features based on the relatively important scores. Then, the ranked features were delivered in different classifiers by a sequential forward selection strategy to select the optimal feature subset. There were significant differences between groups in each of the thirteen gait recognition features (p < 0.005), indicating that all extracted features are potential influence factors for classifying gait patterns. We also found that the highest classification accuracy of 100% for gait feature subsets included the stride frequency, maximum flexion angle of knee, and toe-out angle, on the all classifiers. The results suggest that the proposed approaches are very useful in searching for the optimal feature subset in present dataset. (C) 2020 IPEM. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
