Apprentissage incrémental pour la détection de chute de personnes âgées

International audience; Dans ce papier, nous proposons une méthodologie d'évolution supervisée d'un modèle de classification, spécifique à un système de détection de chute de personnes mis au point précédemment. Cette méthodologie met en oeuvre la méthode de détection, un protocole d'apprentissage incrémental ou évolutif, et une méthode d'évaluation et de comparaison des performances, devant conduire à une amélioration des capacités de détection de chutes sur un système embarqué de type caméra intelligente.

Optimised spatio-temporal descriptors for real-time fall detection : comparison of SVM and Adaboost based classification

International audience; We propose a supervised approach to detect falls in home environment using an optimized descriptor adapted to real-time tasks. We introduce a realistic dataset of 222 videos, a new metric allowing to evaluate fall detection performance in a video stream, and an automatically optimized set of spatio-temporal descriptors which fed a supervised classifier. We build the initial spatio-temporal descriptor named STHF using several combinations of transformations of geometrical features (height and width of human body bounding box, the user's trajectory with her/his orientation, projection histograms, and moments of orders 0, 1, and 2). We study the combinations of usual tr…

Video Scene analysis for a configurable hardware accelerator dedicated to Smart Camera

International audience; According to the Center for Research and Prevention of Injuries report, fall-caused injuries of elderly people in UE- 27 are five times as frequent as other injury causes which reduce considerably their mobility and independence. Among the diverse applications of computer vision systems, object detection and event recognition are of the most prominent related recognition and motion analysis, that is, researchers had the idea to spread it in fall detection. The fall event, extracted automatically from the video scene represents itself, crucial information that can be used to alert emergency. In this context, visual information on the corresponding scene is highly impo…

Combinatorial Transforms : Application in Lossless Image Compression

International audience; Common image compression standards are usually based on frequency transform such as Discrete Cosine Transform. We present a different approach for lossless image compression, which is based on a combinatorial transform. The main transform is Burrows Wheeler Transform (BWT) which tends to reorder symbols according to their following context. It becomes one of promising compression approach based on context modeling. BWT was initially applied for text compression software such as BZIP2 nevertheless it has been recently applied to the image compression field. Compression schemes based on the Burrows Wheeler Transform have been usually lossless; therefore we implement th…
