In this study the overview of human gait analysis and recognition is discussed based on method and approach by previous researches specifically using the kinect sensor. It was found that upon extraction of the twenty skeleton points using kinect sensor, most researches investigated and explored suitable method or approach in identifying significant gait features for better recognition rate. The advantages and limitation of each study by previous researchers are discussed in detail. However, there is not many findings reported on investigation of the skeleton joint coordinates in xyz-axes for full body as gait features for human gait recognition. Hence this study review and highlight the potential of coordinates of skeleton joints as gait features and thus should be further explored. © 2019 IEEE.
