Abstract:
Falls are the second leading cause of injury deaths worldwide, inducing over 0.6 million accidental deaths per year. Among various prevention strategies, fall-related research has been prioritized. However, conventional fall detection solutions relying on computer vision or wearable sensors embody several inherent limitations such as scalability, coverage, and privacy issues. To this end, we present FallSense, a transparent and real-time fall sensing system driven by wireless channel data. FallSense is built on a Dynamic Template Matching (DTM) algorithm, which can start with a light training set and keep updating on usage. FallSense has been realized on commodity WiFi devices and evaluated in real environments. Experimental results show that FallSense outperforms another state-of-the-art approach WiFall in terms of detection precision, false alarm rate and complexity.
