In recent years, the increase of aging population in developed countries has become a significant social problem. There are not a few accidents caused by their low walking ability. The improvement of the walking ability for the elderly and post recovery patients is the main concern of this paper. For this purpose, it is necessary to analyze and estimate their walking posture. In this paper, we propose a posture analysis and estimation method and a gait index acquisition method using a monocular wearable camera. The idea of this paper is to employ an ego-camera mounted on a user. His/her walking posture is analyzed by the frontal view video provided from the camera. This idea intends that the proposed system will be used on a daily basis in the future by those who want to improve their walking posture to keep a healthy life.
