Abstract: Video-based monitoring of elderly people at home receives more attention in recent days. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to develop smart monitoring system for elderly people using computer vision techniques. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based algorithm is used for background and foreground separation inorder to track the activities of human object. The minimum bounding box of the human object is traced and features like major axis length, minor axis length and orientation angle are extracted. The proposed approach is evaluated on the video sequences of fall dataset.
Keywords: Aging Population, Bounding Box, Gaussian Mixture Model, Smart Monitoring.
Scope of the Article: Computer Vision
