dc.description.abstract | Falls in homes of the elderly, in residential care facilities and in hospitals commonly
occur in close proximity to the bed. Most approaches for recognizing falls use cameras, which
challenge privacy, or sensor devices attached to the bed or the body to recognize bedside events and
bedside falls. We use data collected from a ceiling mounted 80 60 thermal array combined with
an ultrasonic sensor device. This approach makes it possible to monitor activity while preserving
privacy in a non-intrusive manner. We evaluate three different approaches towards recognizing
location and posture of an individual. Bedside events are recognized using a 10-second floating
image rule/filter-based approach, recognizing bedside falls with 98.62% accuracy. Bed-entry and exit
events are recognized with 98.66% and 96.73% accuracy, respectively. | en_US |
