The invention provides a human body identity gait recognition system based on combination of visual sense and tactile sense and a recognition method thereof, and relates to an information recognition device. The system is composed of a plantar pressure information acquisition device, a gait information acquisition device, a signal conditioning circuit, an A/D converter, a microprocessor, a transmission module and an upper computer provided with an upper computer recognition work procedure, wherein a pressure measurement slab is arranged at a position, on which human body plantar pressure information measurement needs to be carried out, of a walking channel of a test site, a camera lens is arranged at a position, aligned to the space on the front upper portion of the walking channel of the test site so that gait recognition of a recognized person can be collected, human body identity gaits of the recognized person can be recognized as long as the recognized person normally walks on the pressure measurement slab on the walking channel of the test site, and the defects that according to an existing gait identity recognition technology, after image sequences are obtained through the camera lens, picture processing is carried out, features are extracted, recognition is conducted, and breakthrough of bottlenecks restricting the system in practical application cannot be achieved are overcome.
