Fall Detection and Activity Recognition Methods for the Confidence Project: a Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Confidence project is designed to support independent living of the elderly. The main goal of the project is reconstructing the user’s posture to detect falls in real time and to detect other abnormalities in behavior. This paper presents a survey of methods for fall detection and activity recognition and discusses how suitable they are for the Confidence project. The presented methods use accelerometers, velocity profiles and visual markers.

متن کاملFall Detection and Activity Recognition with Machine Learning
Due to the rapid aging of the European population, an effort needs to be made to ensure that the elderly can live longer independently with minimal support of the working-age population. The Confidence project aims to do this by unobtrusively monitoring their activity to recognize falls and other health problems. This is achieved by equipping the user with radio tags, from which the locations o...
