Abstract:

The aging population has become a growing worldwide problem. Every year, deaths and injuries caused by elderly people's falls bring huge social costs. To reduce the rate of injury and death caused by falls among the elderly and the following social cost, the elderly must be monitored. In this context, falls detecting has become a hotspot for many research institutions and enterprises at home and abroad. This paper proposes an algorithm framework to prealarm the fall based on fractional domain, using inertial data sensor as motion data collection devices, preprocessing the data by axis synthesis and mean filtering, and using fractional-order Fourier transform to convert the collected data from time domain to fractional domain. Based on the above, a multilayer dichotomy classifier is designed, and each node parameter selection method is given, which constructed a preimpact fall detection system with excellent performance. The experiment result demonstrates that the algorithm proposed in this paper can guarantee better warning effect and classification accuracy with fewer features.
