Procrustes Shape Analysis for Fall Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Western countries, the growing population of seniors brings us to think about new healthcare systems to ensure the safety of elderly people at home. Falls are one of the greatest risk for seniors living alone. Computer vision provides a promising solution to analyze people behavior and detect some unusual events like falls. In this paper, we propose to detect falls by analyzing the human shape deformation during the video sequence. The elderly silhouette is tracked along the video sequence using shape context matching. These silhouettes are then used to quantify the deformation based on Procrustes shape analysis. Our algorithm gives very promising results on video sequences of daily activities and simulated falls.

Procrustes Analysis in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome diagnosis
The unique facial appearance associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is emphasised in diagnosis, which relies, in part, on the comparison of linear measurements of facial features to population norms. We explore the use of shape analysis as an alternative diagnostic tool for FAS. This paper implements General Procrustes Analysis to compare the FAS facial shape with the normal facial shape....

This paper deals with generalized procrustes analysis. This is the problem of registering a set of shape data by finding a reference shape and global rigid transformations given point correspondences. The transformed shape data must align with the reference shape as best possible. This is a difficult problem. The classical approach computes alternatively the reference shape, usually as the aver...
متن کاملGait Recognition Using Procrustes Shape Analysis and Shape Context
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for individual recognition by gait. The method of Procrustes shape analysis is used to produce Procrustes Mean Shape (PMS) as a compressed representation of gait sequence. PMS is adopted as the gait signature in this paper. Instead of using the Procrustes mean shape distance as a similarity measure, we introduce shape context descriptor to measure the simil...
متن کاملIs Pinocchio's Nose Long or His Head Small? Learning Shape Distances for Classification
This work presents a new approach to analysis of shapes represented by finite set of landmarks, that generalizes the notion of Procrustes distance an invariant metric under translation, scaling, and rotation. In many shape classification tasks there is a large variability in certain landmarks due to intra-class and/or inter-class variations. Such variations cause poor shape alignment needed for...
متن کاملClustering of Fuzzy Shapes by Integrating Procrustean Metrics and Full Mean Shape Estimation into K-Means Algorithm
In this paper we propose a generalization of K-means algorithm, which is adapted to integrate Procrustean metrics and full mean shape estimation, with the aim of clustering objects with either multiple or fuzzy contours. First we are concerned with the representation of fuzzy shapes and introduce appropriate shape metrics and descriptors. Next, we discuss Procrustean methods for aligning shapes...
