Popis: Falls have caught great harm to the elderly living alone at home. This paper presents a novel visual-based fall detection approach by Dual-Channel Feature Integration. The proposed approach divides the fall event into two parts: falling-state and fallen-state, which describes the fall events from dynamic and static perspectives. Firstly, the object detection model (Yolo) and the human posture detection model (OpenPose) are used for preprocessing to obtain key points and the position information of a human body. Then, a dual-channel sliding window model is designed to extract the dynamic features of the human body (centroid speed, upper limb velocity) and static features (human external ellipse). After that, MLP (Multilayer Perceptron) and Random Forest are applied to classify the dynamic and static feature data separately. Finally, the classification results are combined for fall detection. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves an accuracy of 97.33% and 96.91% when tested with UR Fall Detection Dataset and Le2i Fall Detection Dataset.
