Real-time, mobile-compatible, and low-cost fall detection system with deep learning
摘要
Falls are a major public health risk for older adults, yet practical fall-detection systems must be accurate, low-cost, and deployable on resource-constrained devices. We propose an event-triggered hybrid pipeline where an abnormal-acceleration threshold activates a camera module, and a two-stage model (YOLOv5 person localization followed by an eight-layer CNN) verifies falls from the cropped region of interest. Experiments use a public dataset with a predefined Train/Val split (374/111), treating Val as a held-out test set; labels (Fall/Walking/Sitting) are mapped to Fall vs. Non-Fall. To prevent leakage, offline augmentation is applied only to the training data (374
