DCS-Gait: A Class-Level Domain Adaptation Approach for Cross-Scene and Cross-State Gait Recognition Using Wi-Fi CSI.

Wi-Fi CSI-based gait recognition is a non-intrusive passive biometric identification technology that has garnered significant attention in the fields of security and smart furniture due to its user-friendly nature. However, in practical application scenarios, gait recognition systems face the challenge of reliably identifying subjects across different scenes or states. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes DCS-Gait, a domain adaptation solution for cross-scene and cross-state gait recognition based on Wi-Fi CSI. DCS-Gait leverages a novel data distribution measurement called Cross-Attention Metric to align the class-level data distribution differences, enabling the model to learn invariant features across scenes and states. To address the issue of data annotation, we employ a pre-training method to obtain pseudo labels for the dataset. Additionally, a combined matching filtering technique is utilized to generate high-quality pseudo labels for unrecognized data, which can be further employed for supervised model training. We evaluated the effectiveness of DCS-Gait on a large test set consisting of 34 subjects, 2 scenes, and 3 different states, and the results demonstrate significant improvements over the state-of-the-art baselines in both cross-scene and cross-state gait recognition tasks. DCS-Gait provides a promising and reliable solution for accurate cross-scene and cross-state gait recognition in real-world settings.
