Abstract

Human identification at a distance (HID) faces challenges due to the difficulty of acquiring traditional biometric modalities like face and fingerprints. Gait recognition offers a viable solution since it can be captured at a distance. To advance the algorithm development and provide fair evaluations, the International Competition on Human Identification at a Distance (HID) has been held annually since 2020, with HID 2024 marking the fifth edition. Despite increased difficulty, participants demonstrated remarkable capabilities, surpassing previous accuracy levels. This paper, co-authored by competition organizers and top participants, provides a comprehensive summary of HID 2024, including an overview of the competition, and insights into the methods employed by the top teams. Specifically, inspired by the achievements of the 5 competitions of HID, we also provide the insights for the future directions on gait recognition.
