Nowadays, recognizing human activities is an important subject; it is exploited widely and applied to many fields in real-life, especially in health care and context aware application. Research achievements are mainly focused on activities of daily living which are useful for suggesting advises to health care applications. Falling event is one of the biggest risks to the health and well-being of the elderly especially in independent living because falling accidents may be caused from heart attack. Recognizing this activity still remains in difficult research area. Many systems equipped wearable sensors have been proposed but they are not useful if users forget to wear the clothes or lack ability to adapt themselves to mobile systems without specific wearable sensors. In this paper, we develop a novel method based on analyzing the change of acceleration, orientation when the fall occurs and measure their similarity to featured fall patterns. In this study, we recruit five volunteers in our experiment including various fall categories. The results are effective for recognizing fall activity. Our system is implemented on G1 smart phone which are already plugged accelerometer and orientation sensors. The popular phone is used to get data from accelerometer and results showthe feasibility of our method and significant contribution to fall detection.

Fall-related injuries are the most common cause of accidental death for the elderly and the most frequent work-related injuries in construction sites. Due to the growing popularity of smartphones, there has been a number of research work related to the use of sensors embedded in the smartphone for fall detection. Falls can be detected easily by measuring the magnitude and direction of acceleration vectors. In general, the direction of the acceleration vector does not show the object movement, but the velocity vector directly indicates the tangential direction in which the object is moving. In this paper, we proposed a new method for computing the fall direction based on the characteristics of the velocity vector extracted from the accelerometer.

Human behavior recognition using an accelerometer has been applied to various fields. As smartphones have become used commonly, a method for human behavior recognition using the acceleration sensor built into the smartphone is being studied. In the case of the elderly, falling often leads to serious injuries, and falls are one of the major causes of accidents at construction fields. In this article, we proposed recognition method for human falling direction using built-in acceleration sensor and orientation sensor in the smartphone. In the past, it was a common method to use the magnitude of the acceleration vector to recognize human behavior. These days, deep learning has been actively studied and applied to various areas. In this article, we propose a method for recognizing the direction of human falling by applying the deep learning multilayer technique, which has been widely used recently.

스마트폰에는 여러 센서들이 내장되어있다. 가속도 센서는 그 중 하나로 장치의 가속도를 측정한다. 세 가지의 축으로 측정되는 센서 값을 종합하고 이를 기반으로 독거노인들의 생활 패턴 분석을 통해 시간대에 따라 센서 값의 변화를 측정하여 장시간 센서 값이 변하지 않을 시 보호자에게 메시지가 자동으로 전송된다. 이를 통해 간병인은 보호자의 신변을 확인할 수 있다.

산업 현장에서 인력으로 작업할 수 있는 물리적 한계를 극복하기 위해 특수 목적 차량 작업 시 차량의 넘어짐 방지와 차체 보호를 위해 아웃트리거를 착지시키는데 도로 상태에 따라 사용자가 직접 최적화를 수행하는데 어려움이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 도로 표면 상태를 신속하게 판단하여 아웃트리거 수직 및 수평 전개 착지 시 시간 소모, 안전사고 발생을 낮추기 위해 시멘틱 분할을 이용한 도로 표면 상태를 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 13가지로 구분된 도로 표면 상황에 대하여 DeepLabV3+를 통해 실험한 결과 픽셀 성능0.7819, mIoU 0.7085 결과를 도출하였다.
