Abstract

With the increase of age, the elderly often fall, which seriously threatens their lives. Investigations and studies have shown that timely assistance after a fall can reduce the risk of death. So this paper proposes a fall recognition method based on the human skeleton in the video. First, the video data set is passed through the human pose estimation algorithm to obtain a new video data set containing human skeleton information and annotated. Then build a two-class model (falls and non-falls) based on the three-dimensional convolutional neural network to train and test the fall behavior model. The experimental results show that the method has high accuracy and recall rate and has good application value.
