Deep Learning-Based Gait Recognition with Optimized Hyperparameters Using MobileNet
摘要
Gait recognition is a non-contact biometric modality with increasing relevance in surveillance and healthcare applications. This work presents a computationally efficient identity recognition framework based on a customized MobileNet architecture tailored for silhouette-based gait analysis. Unlike heavy CNN backbones traditionally used for gait recognition, the proposed approach adapts depthwise separable convolutions and Inverted Residual Blocks (IRBs) for lightweight deployment while preserving discriminative spatial representations. The model is evaluated on the CASIA-A dataset under multiple training protocols and demonstrates competitive accuracy (up to 95.66%) with substantially reduced inference time (12 ms per image) and memory consumption (28 MB) compared to VGG19 (41 ms, 145 MB). The study further investigates hyperparameter sensitivity, resolution trade-offs, and ablation analysis to quantify the contribution of architectural components. The results indicate that carefully optimized lightweight CNNs can provide a favorable balance between recognition performance and computational efficiency for real-time gait-based biometric systems.
