Abstract

Gender classification method based on Gait Energy Motion: GEM derived through wavelet analysis of human gait moving pictures is proposed. Through experiments with human gait moving pictures, it is found that the extracted features of wavelet coefficients using silhouettes images are useful for improvement of gender classification accuracy. Also, it is found that the proposed gender classification method shows the best classification performance, 97.63% of correct classification ratio.
