More recently, wearable sensors have become attractive. The accelerometer is the most used one, being embedded in widespread mobile devices. Related techniques do not suffer for problems like occlusion and point of view, but for intra-subject variations caused by walking speed, ground type, shoes, etc. However, we can often recognize a person from the walking pattern, and this stimulates to search for robust features, able to sufficiently characterize this trait. This paper presents some preliminary experiments using the convolution with Gaussian kernels to extract relevant gait elements. The experiments use the large ZJU-gaitacc public dataset, and achieve improved results compared with previous works exploiting the same dataset.enGait RecognitionBiometricsGaussian KernelText/Conference Paper1617-5469
