Abstract :
Human motions generate characteristic spatiotemporal patterns. We have developed a set of techniques for analyzing the patterns generated by people walking across the field of view. After change detection, the XYT pattern can be fit with a smooth spatiotemporal surface. This surface is approximately periodic, reflecting the periodicity of the gait. The surface can be expressed as a combination of a standard parameterized surface-the canonical walk-and a deviation surface that is specific to the individual walk
