A Survey on Automatic Fall Detection in the Context of Ambient Assisted Living Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems are a relatively new and expanding area of research. Due to current demographic trends towards gentrification of the population AAL systems are bound to become more important in todays and near future’s societies. Fall detection is an important component of AAL systems which could provide better safety and higher independency of the elderly. This paper presents a survey on automatic fall detection in the context of AAL systems.

Fusion of Data from Multiple Cameras for Fall Detection
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 v...
متن کاملDetecting falls with 3D range camera in ambient assisted living applications: a preliminary study.
In recent years several world-wide ambient assisted living (AAL) programs have been activated in order to improve the quality of life of older people, and to strengthen the industrial base through the use of information and communication technologies. An important issue is extending the time that older people can live in their home environment, by increasing their autonomy and helping them to c...
متن کاملAutomatic Fall Monitoring: A Review
Falls and fall-related injuries are major incidents, especially for elderly people, which often mark the onset of major deterioration of health. More than one-third of home-dwelling people aged 65 or above and two-thirds of those in residential care fall once or more each year. Reliable fall detection, as well as prevention, is an important research topic for monitoring elderly living alone in ...
متن کاملA Configurable Sensor Network Applied to Ambient Assisted Living
The rising older people population has increased the interest in ambient assisted living systems. This article presents a system for monitoring the disabled or older persons developed from an existing surveillance system. The modularity and adaptability characteristics of the system allow an easy adaptation for a different purpose. The proposed system uses a network of sensors capable of motion...
