Genetic feature selection for gait recognition

by Faezeh Tafazzoli, A George Bebis, Sushil Louis, Muhammad Hussainb
"... Abstract. Many research studies have demonstrated that gait can serve as a useful biometric modality for human identification at a distance. Traditional gait recognition systems, however, have mostly been evaluated without explicitly considering the most relevant gait features, which might have comp ..."

compromised performance. We investigate the problem of selecting a subset of the most relevant gait features for improving gait recognition performance. This is achieved by discarding redundant and irrelevant gait features while preserving the most informative ones. Motivated by our previous work on feature

Wrappers for Feature Subset Selection

by Ron Kohavi, George H. John - AIJ SPECIAL ISSUE ON RELEVANCE , 1997
"... In the feature subset selection problem, a learning algorithm is faced with the problem of selecting a relevant subset of features upon which to focus its attention, while ignoring the rest. To achieve the best possible performance with a particular learning algorithm on a particular training set, a ..."

Irrelevant Features and the Subset Selection Problem

by George H. John, Ron Kohavi, Karl Pfleger - MACHINE LEARNING: PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL , 1994
"... We address the problem of finding a subset of features that allows a supervised induction algorithm to induce small high-accuracy concepts. We examine notions of relevance and irrelevance, and show that the definitions used in the machine learning literature do not adequately partition the features ..."

into useful categories of relevance. We present definitions for irrelevance and for two degrees of relevance. These definitions improve our understanding of the behavior of previous subset selection algorithms, and help define the subset of features that should be sought. The features selected should depend

Face recognition: features versus templates

by Roberto Brunelli, Tomaso Poggio - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1993
"... Abstract-Over the last 20 years, several different techniques have been proposed for computer recognition of human faces. The purpose of this paper is to compare two simple but general strategies on a common database (frontal images of faces of 47 people: 26 males and 21 females, four images per per ..."

sets (about 90 % correct recognition using geometrical features and perfect recognition using template matching) favor our implementation of the template-matching approach. Index Terms-Classification, face recognition, Karhunen-Loeve expansion, template matching.

An introduction to variable and feature selection

by Isabelle Guyon - Journal of Machine Learning Research , 2003

Face Recognition: A Literature Survey

by W. Zhao, R. Chellappa, P. J. Phillips, A. Rosenfeld , 2000
"... ... This paper provides an up-to-date critical survey of still- and video-based face recognition research. There are two underlying motivations for us to write this survey paper: the first is to provide an up-to-date review of the existing literature, and the second is to offer some insights into ..."

Genetic Programming

by John R. Koza , 1997
"... Introduction Genetic programming is a domain-independent problem-solving approach in which computer programs are evolved to solve, or approximately solve, problems. Genetic programming is based on the Darwinian principle of reproduction and survival of the fittest and analogs of naturally occurring ..."

Statistical pattern recognition: A review

by Anil K. Jain, Robert P. W. Duin, Jianchang Mao - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... The primary goal of pattern recognition is supervised or unsupervised classification. Among the various frameworks in which pattern recognition has been traditionally formulated, the statistical approach has been most intensively studied and used in practice. More recently, neural network techniques ..."
Abstract - Cited by 998 (30 self) - Add to MetaCart
techniques and methods imported from statistical learning theory have bean receiving increasing attention. The design of a recognition system requires careful attention to the following issues: definition of pattern classes, sensing environment, pattern representation, feature extraction and selection

Activity recognition from user-annotated acceleration data

by Ling Bao, Stephen S. Intille , 2004
"... In this work, algorithms are developed and evaluated to detect physical activities from data acquired using five small biaxial accelerometers worn simultaneously on different parts of the body. Acceleration data was collected from 20 subjects without researcher supervision or observation. Subjects ..."

With just two biaxial accelerometers – thigh and wrist – the recognition performance dropped only slightly. This is the first work to investigate performance of recognition algorithms with multiple
