Some details
One of our clients, a Belgium-based startup called Algodroid is working on technology that uses cameras to detect falls in the homes of the elderly. They turned to us to help implement their solution.
The video monitoring system for fall prevention we can be broken down into four parts:
- 3D cameras to track older people',s activities throughout the day
- Single board PC for processing data from the
cameras.- Artificial vision algorithms to recognize human postures and detect if a person has fallen
- A communication system that sends an alarm message to caregivers along with a picture once a fall is detected.
Technologies used:
- C++ programming in combination with OpenCV library
- JeVois smart machine vision camera - Intel RealSense and Orbbec Astra depth cameras
- Nuitracl library
- BodyTracking algorithms
- Banana Pi Media Board Computer as an RTSP server
- live555 library
- Qt Framework
