Abstract | The identification of individuals based on their walking patterns, also known as gait recognition, has garnered considerable interest as a biometric trait. The use of gait patterns for gender classification has emerged as a significant research domain with diverse applications across multiple fields. The present investigation centers on the classification of gender based on gait utilizing data from Ultra-wide band radar. A total of 181 participants were included in the study, and data was gathered using Ultra-wide band radar technology. This study investigates various preprocessing techniques, feature extraction methods, and dimensionality reduction approaches to efficiently process Ultra-wide band radar data. The data quality is improved through the utilization of a two-pulse canceller and discrete wavelet transform. The hybrid feature dataset is generated through the creation of gray-level co-occurrence matrices and subsequent extraction of statistical features. Principal Component Analysis is utilized for dimensionality reduction, and prediction probabilities are incorporated as features for classification optimization. The present study employs k-fold cross-validation to train and assess machine learning classifiers, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Extra Tree Classifier. The Multilayer Perceptron exhibits superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 0.936. The Support Vector Machine and k-Nearest Neighbors classifiers closely trail behind, both achieving an accuracy of 0.934. This research is of the utmost importance due to its capacity to offer solutions to crucial problems in multiple domains. The findings indicate that the utilization of UWB radar data for gait-based gender classification holds promise in diverse domains, including biometrics, surveillance, and healthcare. The present study makes a valuable contribution to the progress of gender classification systems that rely on gait patterns. |
