Open Source Implementation for Fall Classification and Fall Detection Systems

2020 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Nuñez Martínez, José Pablo , Moya-Albor, Ernesto , Brieva, Jorge

Distributed social coding has created many benefits for software developers. Open source code and publicly available datasets can leverage the development of fall detection and fall classification systems. These systems can help to improve the time in which a person receives help after a fall occurs. Many of the simulated falls datasets consider different types of fall however, very few fall detection systems actually identify and discriminate between each category of falls. In this chapter, we present an open source implementation for fall classification and detection systems using the public UP-Fall Detection dataset. This implementation comprises a set of open codes stored in a GitHub repository for full access and provides a tutorial for using the codes and a concise example for their application. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Comparative Analysis of Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks and Data-Driven Approaches for Human Activity Recognition

2015 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis

In recent years computing and sensing technologies advances contribute to develop effective human activity recognition systems. In context-aware and ambient assistive living applications, classification of body postures and movements, aids in the development of health systems that improve the quality of life of the disabled and the elderly. In this paper we describe a comparative analysis of data-driven activity recognition techniques against a novel supervised learning technique called artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN). We prove that artificial hydrocarbon networks are suitable for efficient body postures and movements classification, providing a comparison between its performance and other well-known supervised learning methods.
