Abstract
In recent years, the occurrence of falls has increased and has had detrimental effects on older adults. Therefore, various machine learning approaches and datasets have been introduced to construct an efficient fall detection algorithm for the social community. This paper studies the fall detection problem based on a large public dataset, namely the UP-Fall Detection Dataset. This dataset was collected from a dozen of volunteers using different sensors and two cameras. We propose several techniques to obtain valuable features from these sensors and cameras and then construct suitable models for the main problem. The experimental results show that our proposed methods can bypass the state-of-the-art methods on this dataset in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
