As the number of elderly people living alone increases, the frequency of fall accidents is also increasing. Falls are a threat to the health of older adults and can reduce their ability to remain independent. To solve this problem, we need real-time technology to recognize and respond to the critical condition of the elderly living alone. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified fall detection algorithm based on YOLO-KCF that can check one of the emergency situations in real time for the elderly living alone. YOLO can detect not only the detection of objects, but also the behavior of objects, namely stand and fall. Therefore, this paper can detect fall using the ratio of change of boundary box between stand and falling situation, and this algorithm can improve the shortcomings of KCF.

A recent study of people physically falling focused on analyzing the motions of the falls using a recurrent neural network (RNN) and a deep learning approach to get good results from detecting 2D human poses from a single color image. In this paper, we investigate a detection method for estimating the position of the head and shoulder keypoints and the acceleration of positional change using the skeletal keypoints information extracted using PoseNet from an image obtained with a low-cost 2D RGB camera, increasing the accuracy of judgments about the falls. In particular, we propose a fall detection method based on the characteristics of post-fall posture in the fall motion-analysis method. A public data set was used to extract human skeletal features, and as a result of an experiment to find a feature extraction method that can achieve high classification accuracy, the proposed method showed a 99.8% success rate in detecting falls more effectively than a conventional, primitive skeletal data-use method.

In this paper, we introduce the deep-learning system using Tensorflow for recognizing situations that can occur fall situations when the elderly are moving or standing. Fall detection uses the LSTM (long short-term memory) learned using Tensorflow to determine whether it is a fall or not by data measured from wearable accelerator sensor. Learning is carried out for each of the 7 behavioral patterns consisting of 4 types of activity of daily living (ADL) and 3 types of fall. The learning was conducted using the 3-axis acceleration sensor data. As a result of the test, it was found to be compliant except for the GDSVM(Gravity Differential SVM), and it is expected that better results can be expected if the data is mixed and learned.

It is hard to predict when and where a fall accident will happen. Also, if rapid follow-up measures on it are not performed, a fall accident leads to a threat of life, so studies that can automatically detect a fall accident have become necessary. Among automatic fall-accident detection techniques, a fall detection scheme using an IMU (inertial measurement unit) sensor attached to a wrist is difficult to detect a fall accident due to its movement, but it is recognized as a technique that is easy to wear and has excellent accessibility. To overcome the difficulty in obtaining fall data, this study proposes an algorithm that efficiently learns less data through machine learning such as KNN (k-nearest neighbors) and SVM (support vector machine). In addition, to improve the performance of these mathematical classifiers, this study utilized feature data aquired in the frequency space. The proposed algorithm analyzed the effect by diversifying the parameters of the model and the parameters of the frequency feature extractor through experiments using standard datasets. The proposed algorithm could adequately cope with a realistic problem that fall data are difficult to obtain. Because it is lighter than other classifiers, this algorithm was also easy to implement in small embedded systems where SIMD (single instruction multiple data) processing devices were difficult to mount.

고령화 사회로 인한 노인의 건강과 안전에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 낙상 문제는 더욱 중요해졌다. 기존 연구들은 영상에서 인체의 관절위치를 측정하고 이것만을 활용하여 낙상을 감지했지만, 본 논문에서는 방향과 속력 정보를 추가하여 탐지 능력을 향상시켰다. 실험결과 기존 방식에 비해 향상된 성능을 관찰할 수 있었다.

A newly developed fall detection algorithm using the HMM (Hidden Markov Model) extracted from the video is introduced. To distinguish between the fall from personal difference fall pattern or the normal activities of daily living (ADL), HMM machine learning algorithm is used. For getting fall feature vector of video, the motion vector from the optical flow is applied to the PCA (Principal Component Analysis). The combination of the angle, ratio of long-short axis, velocity from results of PCA make the new fall feature parameters. These parameters were applied to the HMM and the results were compared and analyzed. Among the newly proposed various kinds of fall parameters, the angle of movement showed the best results. The results show that this parameter can distinguish various types of fall from ADLs with 91.5% sensitivity and 88.01% specificity.

In this paper, we introduce a dependence of number of nodes of hidden-layer in fall detection system using Long Short-Term Memory that can detect falls. Its training is carried out using the parameter theta(θ), which indicates the angle formed by the x, y, and z-axis data for the direction of gravity using a 3-axis acceleration sensor. In its learning, validation is performed and divided into training data and test data in a ratio of 8:2, and training is performed by changing the number of nodes in the hidden layer to increase efficiency. When the number of nodes is 128, the best accuracy is shown with Accuracy = 99.82%, Specificity = 99.58%, and Sensitivity = 100%.

In this paper, we dealt with a safety helmet for detecting dangerous situations that focuses on falling accidents and gas leaks, which are the main causes of industrial accidents. the fall situation range was set through gravity acceleration measurement using an acceleration sensor, and as a result, a fall detection rate of 80% could be confirmed. .In addition, the dangerous gas concentration was measured through a gas sensor, and when a digital value of 188 or more was output through a serial monitor, it was determined as a gas dangerous situation, and a fall warning message and a gas warning message could be checked through a smart-phone application produced based on the app inventor program.

사람들은 예측하지 못한 순간에 발생할 수 있는 안전 사고에 대해 항상 불안해한다. 매년 노년층 인구 비율이 증가함에 따라 낙상 사고 발생 빈도도 비례적으로 증가하고 있다. 낙상 사고는 대체로 골든 타임이 짧으므로 보호자와 함께 생활하지 않는 노인에게 낙상 사고가 발생한 경우 이를 대처하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 비콘과 웨어러블 밴드로 활용하여 낙상 사고 발생을 효과적으로 감지하고 초동 응급 대처가 가능할 수 있도록 돕는 알림 시스템을 설계하고, 이러한 기능을 수행하는 모바일 애플리케이션을 구현하고자 한다.
