Human gait recognition as a branch of biometric identification, has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years, thanks to the integration of deep learning techniques. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in the field, specifically focusing on the transformative role of deep learning methodologies. Recent research papers highlight novel approaches in gait recognition, including deferent models proposed that is consisted of using more than one approach together to increase the accuracy. Subsequently, we undertake a comprehensive investigation of the most relevant literature and present an analysis of gait recognition techniques employing deep learning. We discuss the models, systems, accuracy, applications, and datasets utilized in these studies, aiming to outline and structure the research landscape and literature in this domain. Methods for acquiring gait data are distinguished between capturing video frame, radar signals, or from wearable sensors as well as from the available online datasets that are large-scale and significantly contributed to the advancement of deep learning models. The study also shows the verity applications that can utilize human gait recognition to achieve certain goals.
