| contents | Gait recognition is a biometric technique that identifies individuals based on their walking patterns, offering advantages in long-range, non-intrusive scenarios. However, real-world scenarios often involve heterogeneous sensing modalities such as LiDAR and RGB cameras, making LiDAR-Camera Cross-modal Gait recognition (LCCGR) a critical yet challenging task due to the substantial modality gap between 2D videos and 3D point cloud sequences. To address this challenge, we propose TCFDNet, a Text-guided Cross-modal Feature Disentanglement Network, which leverages modality-aware textual priors as semantic anchors to guide the learning of disentangled modality-shared representations. Specifically, we construct a Gait Modality Text Dictionary (GMTD) using large language models to generate rich semantic descriptions of gait across modalities and viewpoints. A CLIP-based Multi-grained Feature Encoder then aligns visual and textual features within a unified vision-language space. Furthermore, the Text-guided Feature Disentanglement (TFD) module selects the topk matched textual descriptions to reconstruct modality-specific representations and derive modality-shared features via residual decomposition and orthogonality constraints. To mitigate the fragility of the disentangled shared features, we propose a Feature Stability Enhancement (FSE) module, which models spatial and channel-wise correlations to improve feature robustness. In addition, a cross-modal patch exchange strategy is introduced to further improve generalization. Extensive experiments on SUSTech1K and FreeGait datasets demonstrate that TCFDNet achieves new state-of-the-art results and validate the effectiveness of the proposed modules. |
