B.Kaluža, M. Luštrek. Fall Detection And Activity Recognition Methods For The Confidence Project: A Survey. IS 2009, 12-16 October 2009, Ljubljana (Slovenia).Proceedings of the 11th International Multiconference Information Society-IS 2008, Volume A

Abstract:

 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.
