Person identification from actions based on dynemes and discriminant learning

Abstract

In this paper we present a view-independent person identification method exploiting motion information. A multi-camera setup is used in order to capture the human body during action execution from different viewing angles. The method is able to incorporate several everyday actions in person identification. A comparative study of the discriminative ability of different actions for person identification is provided, denoting that several actions, except walk, can be exploited for person identification.
