© 1992-2012 IEEE. Gait recognition has attracted growing attention in recent years, as the gait of humans has a strong discriminative ability even under low resolution at a distance. Unfortunately, the performance of gait recognition can be largely affected by view change. To address this problem, we propose a coupled patch alignment (CPA) algorithm that effectively matches a pair of gaits across different views. To realize CPA, we first build a certain amount of patches, and each of them is made up of a sample as well as its intra-class and inter-class nearest neighbors. Then, we design an objective function for each patch to balance the cross-view intra-class compactness and the cross-view inter-class separability. Finally, all the local-independent patches are combined to render a unified objective function. Theoretically, we show that the proposed CPA has a close relationship with canonical correlation analysis. Algorithmically, we extend CPA to 'multi-dimensional patch alignment' that can handle an arbitrary number of views. Comprehensive experiments on CASIA(B), USF, and OU-ISIR gait databases firmly demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods over other existing popular methods in terms of cross-view gait recognition.
