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."

Who Remains, What Changes: Identity Anchored Composed Gait Retrieval

The paper introduces Composed Gait Retrieval (CoGR), a task that retrieves a target gait sequence using a reference sequence and a natural language modification query. To support this, the authors create the first gait-language datasets—Language‑Augmented CCPG and Language‑Augmented CASIA‑B—via an automated annotation pipeline powered by large vision‑language models. They propose ComposeGait, an identity‑anchored composition framework with a Part‑aware Identity Adapter that injects identity tokens into a shared Q‑Former, achieving state‑of‑the‑art retrieval performance on both benchmarks.
