Fall detection system for elderly people : a neural network approach

In this work a new approach for a fall detection system is proposed. The device integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to measure linear acceleration and angular velocities, respectively. Information from both sensors is used to characterize movements through selected features extr...
