Abstract
Video-based gait recognition has achieved impressive results in constrained scenarios. However, visual cameras neglect human 3D structure information, which limits the feasibility of gait recognition in the 3D wild world.
Instead of extracting gait features from images, this work explores precise 3D gait features from point clouds and proposes a simple yet efficient 3D gait recognition framework, termed LidarGait. Our proposed approach projects sparse point clouds into depth maps to learn the representations with 3D geometry information, which outperforms existing point-wise and camera-based methods by a significant margin. Due to the lack of point cloud datasets, we build the first large-scale LiDAR-based gait recognition dataset, SUSTech1K, collected by a LiDAR sensor and an RGB camera. The dataset contains 25,239 sequences from 1,050 subjects and covers many variations, including visibility, views, occlusions, clothing, carrying, and scenes.
Extensive experiments show that (1) 3D structure information serves as a significant feature for gait recognition. (2) LidarGait outperforms existing point-based and silhouette-based methods by a significant margin, while it also offers stable cross-view results. (3) The LiDAR sensor is superior to the RGB camera for gait recognition in the outdoor environment.

Diverse Attributes
The SUSTech1K dataset preserves the variances found in ex- isting datasets, such as Normal, Bag, Clothes Changing, Views and Object Carrying, while also considering other common but challenging variances encountered outdoors, including Occlusion, Illumination, Uniform, and Umbrella.
Multiple Modalities
The SUSTech1K dataset is a synchronized multimodal dataset, with timestamped frames for each modality of frames.

LiDAR meets Gait
As camera-based methods constrained by real-world factors, introducing LiDAR sensor for gait recognition is a promising direction. However, the lack of large-scale LiDAR gait datasets hinders the development of LiDAR-based gait recognition.
To make gait recognition towards real-world applications, we would like to thanks all efforts made by previous researchers. Besides, there are some excellent work that investigates LiDAR-based recognition around the same time as ours.
LiCamGait introduces an dataset with camera and LiDAR modalities similar to our SUSTech1K. We believe that our dataset and LiCamGait dataset can complement each other and promote the development of LiDAR-based gait recognition.
