Abstract

A gender balanced dataset of 101 pedestrians on a treadmill is presented. Gait is analysed for gender classification using a modification of a framework which has previously proven effective when used in behaviour recognition experiments. Sparse spatio temporal features from the video clips are classified using Support Vector Machines. Tuning parameters are investigated to find an effective feature descriptor for gender separation and an accuracy of 87% is achieved.
