An End-to-End Multi-Task and Fusion CNN for Inertial-Based Gait Recognition. Delgado-Escaño, Rubén Castro, Francisco M.

People identification using gait information (i.e., the way a person walks) obtained from inertial sensors is a robust approach that can be used in multiple situations where vision-based systems are not applicable. Typically, previous methods use hand-crafted features or deep learning approaches with pre-processed features as input. In contrast, we present a new deep learning-based end-to-end approach that employs raw inertial data as input. By this way, our approach is able to automatically learn the best representations without any constraint introduced by the pre-processed features. Moreover, we study the fusion of information from multiple inertial sensors and multi-task learning from multiple labels per sample. Our proposal is experimentally validated on the challenging dataset OU-ISIR, which is the largest available dataset for gait recognition using inertial information. After conducting an extensive set of experiments to obtain the best hyper-parameters, our approach is able to achieve state-of-the-art results. Specifically, we improve both the identification accuracy (from 83.8% to 94.8%) and the authentication equal-error-rate (from 5.6 to 1.1). Our experimental results suggest that: 1) the use of hand-crafted features is not necessary for this task as deep learning approaches using raw data achieve better results; 2) the fusion of information from multiple sensors allows to improve the results; and, 3) multi-task learning is able to produce a single model that obtains similar or even better results in multiple tasks than the corresponding models trained for a single task. 2025-01-28T09:02:02Z 2025-01-28T09:02:02Z 2019 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10630/37142 10.1109/ACCESS.2018.2886899 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional IEEE
