Zusammenfassung
Ein großes Problem für die ältere Generation sind Stürze. Die neuesten asynchronen Temporalkontrast-Sensoren sind für die Anwendung in diesem Feld besonders geeignet, brauchen jedoch Ereignis-basierte Bildverarbeitung. In diesem Artikel analysieren wir mögliche Methoden auf ihre Anwendbarkeit mit dieser neuen Technologie. Wir präsentieren mögliche Lösungen für die Adaptierung von existierenden Algorithmen und unsere neuen, Ereignis-basierten Algorithmen. Wir beschreiben auch Möglichkeiten zur Reduzierung von Fehlalarmen.
Summary
A major problem among the elderly are falling accidents. The newest asynchronous temporal-contrast sensors are uniquely suited for applications in this field, however, require an event-space-based approach to image processing. This paper surveys possible methods regarding their usability with this new technology. We present possible solutions for adapting existing algorithms and our new, event-space-based algorithms. We also raise some considerations regarding the reduction of false alarm rates.
