This paper describes an innovative video fall detector which can be implemented in hardware. The goal was to design a very economic embedded video sensor, based on a computationally light algorithm. Such a sensor can be placed in an environment equipped with an 'ambient intelligence system', to produce a robust detection of fall events, using a data-fusion approach which exploits the correlation of information obtained from this and other sensors (wearable sensors, audio sensors, etc.).

Abstract
This paper describes an innovative video fall detector which can be implemented in hardware. The goal was to design a very economic embedded video sensor, based on a computationally light algorithm. Such a sensor can be placed in an environment equipped with an 'ambient intelligence system', to produce a robust detection of fall events, using a data-fusion approach which exploits the correlation of information obtained from this and other sensors (wearable sensors, audio sensors, etc.).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
