Fusion of Data from Multiple Cameras for Fall Detection

چکیده
In the context of ambient assisted living, camera-based fall detectors at elderly homes leads to immediate alarming and helping. In this paper we propose a novel approach for the detection of falls based on multiple cameras. Based on semantic driven features fall detection is done in 2D and each camera decides on its own, if a fall has occurred. Fuzzy logic is both used to estimate confidence values for a fall/no fall in the single cameras as well as in the final voting step where the individual decisions are fused to an overall decision. Emphasis is given on simplicity, low computational effort and fast processing. We demonstrate the method and give results on 73 video sequences.

The Elderly health is an important and noticeable issue; since these people are priceless resources of experience in the society. Elderly adults are more likely to be severely injured or to die following falls. Hence, fast detection of such incidents may even lead to saving the life of the injured person. Several techniques have been proposed lately for the fall detection of people, mostly cate...

The multi-sensor fusion can provide more accurate and reliable information compared to information from each sensor separately taken. Moreover, the data from multiple heterogeneous sensors present in the medical surveillance systems have different degrees of uncertainty. Among multisensor data fusion techniques, Bayesian methods and evidence theories such as Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST), are co...
