Abstract

In order to solve the problem of real time detection of elderly fall in complex background, a video-based real-time fall detection method is proposed. The method consists of moving target detection, moving target box selection, moving target fall detection and warning system. The Gaussian Mixture Model and Hue,Saturation and Value(HSV) space shadow removal algorithm are used to extract the foreground for moving target detection. For moving target box selection, a box selection based on quadratic contour detection method is proposed to solve the problem of serious foreground fragmentation in complex background. The moving target fall detection is accomplished with support vector machine, by experiment, the accuracy is 96.86%. The key frame technology is used to satisfy the real-time detection requirement. Combined with Telnet technology, the function of email warning is achieved.
