Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 100 === We present a novel real-time video-based human fall detection system in this thesis. Because the system is based on a combination of shadow-based features and various human postures, it can distinguish between fall-down and fall-like incidents with a high degree of accuracy. To support effective operation in different viewpoints, we propose a new feature called virtual height that can estimate the body height without 3D model reconstruction. As a result, the model is low computational complexity. Our experiment results demonstrate that the proposed system can achieve a high detection rate and a low false alarm rate.
