Since falls are a major cause of harm to older people, there is considerable demand for low-
cost fall detection systems. To meet demands of the end-users we propose a new …

A wireless sensor network employing multiple sensing and event detection modalities and
distributed processing is proposed for smart home monitoring applications. Image sensing …

Human skin detection is an essential step in most human detection applications, such as
face detection. The performance of any skin detection system depends on assessment of …

In this paper, we present a new approach for reliable fall detection. The fuzzy system
consists of two input Mamdani engines and a triggering alert Sugeno engine. The output of …

Segmentation of human faces from still images is a research field of rapidly increasing
interest. Although the field encounters several challenges, this paper seeks to present a …

In this paper we develop a distributed vision-based smart home care system aimed for
monitoring elderly persons remotely. The cameras are triggered by a broadcast from the …

This chapter focuses on activity monitoring in a home setting for health care purposes. First
the most current sensing systems are described, which consist of wearable and ambient …

This paper investigates visual head tracking and person following with a mobile robot. The
position of the mobile robot is determined during person following on the basis of laser …

Human face segmentation have drawn much attention over the years and many techniques
have been used. Seeing that it has many potential applications in computer science vision …

La extracción de la estructura tridimensional de una escena a partir de imágenes
estereoscópicas es un problema que ha sido estudiado en las últimas décadas por la …
