3D human pose recognition for home monitoring of elderly Host Publication: 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Authors: B. Jansen, F. Temmermans and R. Deklerck Publisher: IEEE Publication Date: Aug. 2007 ISBN: 978-1-4244-0787-3
Abstract: A toolbox for the automatic monitoring of elderly
in a nursing home or in the natural home environment is proposed.
Rather than monitoring vital signs or other biomedical
parameters, the toolbox is focussed on the monitoring of activity
patterns and changes therein. Activity information is derived
from visual information using image processing algorithms. The
visual information is acquired using 3D camera technology.
Besides a traditional visual image, 3D cameras also provide
highly accurate depth information. The 3D position of the
subject is derived and serves as the primary information source
for the different components in the toolbox. External Link.
