Abstract

In this work, we develop a computer vision based fall prevention system for hospital ward application. To prevent potential falls, once the event of patient get up from the bed is automatically detected, nursing staffs are alarmed immediately for assistance. For the detection task, we use a RGBD sensor (Microsoft Kinect). The geometric prior knowledge is exploited by identifying a set of task-specific feature channels, e.g., regions of interest. Extensive motion and shape features from both color and depth image sequences are extracted. Features from multiple modalities and channels are fused via a multiple kernel learning framework for training the event detector. Experimental results demonstrate the high accuracy and efficiency achieved by the proposed system.
