MMGait: Benchmarking and Unifying Gait Recognition across Heterogeneous Modalities

MMGait is a large‑scale multi‑sensor benchmark that aligns visible, infrared, depth, LiDAR, and radar observations at the sequence level, enabling evaluation of single‑modal, cross‑modal, and multi‑modal gait recognition. The study shows that modality rankings shift with probe conditions, cross‑modal alignment remains challenging, and fusion can yield complementary gains. To address the scalability issue of training separate experts, the authors propose Omni‑Modal Gait Recognition and its implementation, OmniGait++, which unifies all recognition settings within a shared identity space using modality‑specific front ends, a shared encoder, and an anchor‑guided fusion module. whyItMatters":"MMGait provides a common testbed for heterogeneous gait sensing and demonstrates that unified recognition across varying modality availability is feasible, offering a scalable alternative to task‑specific experts."

Beyond Gait: Person Identification from Millimeter-Wave Point Clouds Across Activities of Daily Living

The paper explores person identification using millimeter‑wave point clouds beyond traditional gait analysis, focusing on seven activities of daily living (ADLs). It introduces the mm‑ADL dataset of 11 subjects and proposes an activity‑conditioned framework that routes each clip to an activity‑specific identity expert via a supervised mixture of experts. Experiments show that hard routing improves closed‑set ID accuracy from 62.1% to 68.0% and significantly boosts re‑identification metrics, demonstrating the benefit of activity context under controlled indoor conditions.

CityGuard: Graph-Aware Private Descriptors for Bias-Resilient Identity Search Across Urban Cameras

arXiv:2602. 18047v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: City-scale person re-identification across distributed cameras must handle severe appearance changes from viewpoint, occlusion, and domain shift while complying with data protection rules that prevent sharing raw imagery.

RevalExo: A Functional Daily-Activity Benchmark for Inertial and Visual Locomotion Mode Recognition in Older Adults and Clinical Cohorts

RevalExo is a new benchmark for locomotion mode recognition that focuses on functional daily activities performed by older adults and clinical cohorts. It includes 27 participants from three groups—healthy older adults, stroke survivors, and older adults with probable sarcopenia—recorded with lower-body IMUs and, for a subset, synchronized egocentric video. The dataset offers 10.1 hours of frame‑level annotations across 11 locomotion modes, and the authors evaluate unimodal, multimodal, cross‑population, and cross‑modal recognition challenges, finding that sensor fusion improves performance but transitions and generalization remain difficult.
