ElderCare
From jderobot
Eldercare autonomously detects people falls using regular cameras. It is aimed at elder people which live alone. The system reduces the time without medical assistance in the case of fall or faint of the elder patient. It continuously analyzes the images from several cameras and estimates the 3D position of the people in the monitored area. In the event of a fall or a faint it triggers the alarm to alert a relative or a doctor. The system does not require any actuation from the patient, it is completely autonomous and non intrusive. It is based on particle filters technology, motion and color analysis.
