Data-Driven Meta-Analysis and Public-Dataset Evaluation for Sensor-Based Gait Age Estimation

  • 整合59项研究,对比不同传感器与模型的年龄预测表现
  • 在超6万步态周期中验证5个指标与年龄相关性,相关系数≥0.27
  • 通过可视化揭示模型关注膝部和骨盆区域,支持生理学解释

从步态估计年龄在医疗、安全和人机交互中有重要应用。本文回顾了59项涉及超过七万五千名受试者的视频、可穿戴设备和雷达传感器研究,发现卷积神经网络平均误差约4.2年,惯性传感器模型约4.5年,多传感器融合最低达3.4年,且实验室与真实场景数据差异显著。随后,对OU-ISIR大型人群数据集中的六万三千八百四十六个步态周期进行分析,量化了步幅长度、行走速度、步频、步时变异性与关节角熵五个关键指标与年龄的相关性,相关系数均不低于0.27。接着,微调ResNet34模型并使用Grad-CAM揭示网络关注膝部与骨盆区域,符合已知的年龄相关步态变化。最后,在VersatileGait数据库的一十万样本子集中,比较支持向量机、决策树、随机森林、多层感知机和卷积神经网络的表现,发现深度网络准确率可达96%,单样本处理时间低于0.1秒。结合广泛元分析、大规模实验与可解释可视化,本研究建立可靠性能基准,为真实场景下将步态年龄误差控制在三年以内提供实践指南。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Estimating a person's age from their gait has important applications in healthcare, security and human-computer interaction. In this work, we review fifty-nine studies involving over seventy-five thousand subjects recorded with video, wearable and radar sensors. We observe that convolutional neural networks produce an average error of about 4.2 years, inertial-sensor models about 4.5 years and multi-sensor fusion as low as 3.4 years, with notable differences between lab and real-world data. We then analyse sixty-three thousand eight hundred forty-six gait cycles from the OU-ISIR Large-Population dataset to quantify correlations between age and five key metrics: stride length, walking speed, step cadence, step-time variability and joint-angle entropy, with correlation coefficients of at least 0.27. Next, we fine-tune a ResNet34 model and apply Grad-CAM to reveal that the network attends to the knee and pelvic regions, consistent with known age-related gait changes. Finally, on a one hundred thousand sample subset of the VersatileGait database, we compare support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, multilayer perceptrons and convolutional neural networks, finding that deep networks achieve up to 96 percent accuracy while processing each sample in under 0.1 seconds. By combining a broad meta-analysis with new large-scale experiments and interpretable visualizations, we establish solid performance baselines and practical guidelines for reducing gait-age error below three years in real-world scenarios.
