In this work, we present AerialGait, a comprehensive dataset for aerial-ground gait recognition. This dataset comprises 82,454 sequences totaling over 10 million frames from 533 subjects, captured from both aerial and ground perspectives. To align with real-life scenarios of aerial and ground surveillance, we utilize a drone and a ground surveillance camera for data acquisition. The drone is operated at various speeds, directions, and altitudes. Meanwhile, we conduct data collection across five diverse surveillance sites to ensure a comprehensive simulation of real-world settings. AerialGait has several unique features: 1) The gait sequences exhibit significant variations in views, resolutions, and illumination across five distinct scenes. 2) It incorporates challenges of motion blur and frame discontinuity due to drone mobility. 3) The dataset reflects the domain gap caused by the view disparity between aerial and ground views, presenting a realistic challenge for drone-based gait recognition. Moreover, we perform a comprehensive analysis of existing gait recognition methods on AerialGait dataset and propose the Aerial-Ground Gait Network (AGG-Net). AGG-Net effectively learns discriminative features from aerial views by uncertainty learning and clusters features across aerial and ground views through prototype learning. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on both AerialGait and DroneGait datasets. The dataset and code will be made available upon acceptance.
