Fall detection can improve the security and safety of older people and alert when fall occurs. Fall detection systems are mainly based on wearable sensors, ambient sensors, and vision. Each method has commonly known advantages and limitations. Multimodal and data fusion approaches present a combination of data sources in order to better describe falls. Publicly available multimodal datasets are needed to allow comparison between systems, algorithms and modal combinations. To address this issue, we present a publicly available dataset for fall detection considering Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), ambient infrared presence/absence sensors, and an electroencephalogram Helmet. It will allow human activity recognition researchers to do experiments considering different combination of sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
