Gait recognition distinguishes one individual from others according to the natural patterns of human gaits. Gait recognition is a challenging signal processing technology for biometric identification due to the ambiguity of contours and the complex feature extraction procedure. In this work, we proposed a new model - the convolutional neural network (CNN) joint attention mechanism (CJAM) - to classify the gait sequences and conduct person identification using the CASIA-A and CASIA-B gait datasets. The CNN model has the ability to extract gait features, and the attention mechanism continuously focuses on the most discriminative area to achieve person identification. We present a comprehensive transformation from gait image preprocessing to final identification. The results from 12 experiments show that the new attention model leads to a lower error rate than others. The CJAM model improved the 3D-CNN, CNN-LSTM (long short-term memory), and the simple CNN by 8.44%, 2.94% and 1.45%, respectively.
