This study describes the recognition of human gait in the oblique and frontal views using novel gait features derived from the skeleton joints provided by Kinect. In D skeleton joints were extracted directly from the Kinect, which generates the the other hand, H-joint distance is a feature of distance between the hip joint with other skeleton joints. Prior to the gait feature extraction, the skeleton joints provided by Kinect were pre-processed in order to standardize the size of gait feature within a full gait cycle. To classify gait patterns according to its own group, a multi-layer perceptron was employed in the pattern recognition stage. Results show that a perfect recognition of human gait (100%) was attained for the frontal view using the feature of H-joint distance at the optimal multi
