Abstract

This paper introduces an based on vision in real time. fall detection system and elderly activity monitoring de- signed. to increase the safety of independent living. The proposed framework uses pose estimation and posture analysis to identify cases of falls. from live video streams. A temporal analysis based on threshold. mechanism identifies the normal activities and fall incidents. When the system detects the issue, an alert is provided and a mail. notifications. Fall is proven to be reliable through ex- perimental evaluation.system which is suitable to be used in home based elderly monitoring applications.Possible Index Terms Fall Detection Computer Vision, Pose Estimation Elderly Monitoring, Real-Time Systems YOLOv8 Human Activity Recognition.
