1 Introduction
We have derived a novel approach to the detec-
tion and recognition of human gait. In gait de-
tection, we nd a spatiotemporal pattern that
signals the presence of a walking person. In gait
recognition, we seek to identify the individual
who is walking. It is known that humans can
detect and recognize gait with reduce spatiotem-
poral sequences (such as moving light displays)
[3, 10], and we would like to give similar capa-
