Modeling abnormal walking of the elderly to predict risk of the falls using Kalman filter and motion estimation approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is estimated that in 2050, more than one fifth of the world’s population will be over 65 years old and these people will face serious risks in their future life. In this paper, a new method is proposed which models the motion aggregation pattern by receiving video strings containing the walks of the elderly and tracking their motion to identify the position of the joints involved in movements. Then, drawing on biomechanical laws of motion and joint angle estimates, the skeletal framework is mapped on the image, which is eventually transferred to the 3D space. The data include a set of 322 video strings taken from CASIA and CAVIAR databases and a sample of the falls in the elderly taken from Sabzevar’s Mother Nursing Home in Iran. The results show the effective performance of the algorithm in identifying the risk of falls associated with abnormal walking of the elderly. 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An Effective Attack-Resilient Kalman Filter-Based Approach for Dynamic State Estimation of Synchronous Machine
Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper...

In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...
