Detecting Falls Inside the Building by Deep Learning
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents the detection of falls inside the building using deep learning. The method is to apply Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for regularization by Dropout technique to create classification models. The data are collected in the form of video files from lnVia laboratory room, University de Franche-Comté, and separated into 60% of Training set, 20% of Test set, and 20% of Validation set. The three experiments are designed for different patterns according to the different inputs: 1) Grayscale images 2) Motion History Images (MHI), and 3) MHI combined with Grayscale image. Regarding the efficiency evaluation of the three best models, the classification model for Grayscale images has 0.9204 accuracy. The model for classifying MHI achieves 0.9193 accuracy. On the other hand, the model for classifying MHI combined with Grayscale images results in 0.9575 accuracy, which is the best model of all 3 experiments.
