Abstract

In order to improve the performance of fall detection system for the elderly based on triaxial acceleration sensor, and accurately to judge the fall direction of human body, a method was put forward based on self-organizing map neural network (SOM) and the information of triaxial acceleration sensor to cluster and analyze the human motion. To verify the recognition results of the SOM method, 130 samples of 13 common action including fall were participated in the SOM network testing. The results show that the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the new system were 90%, 96.7%, 94.6%, respectively. These results were better than those of the method of threshold value.
