Abstract

This paper presents an image understanding approach to monitor human movement and identify the abnormal circumstance by robust motion detection for the care of the elderly in a home-based environment. In contrast to the conventional approaches which apply either a fixed feature extraction scheme or a fixed object model for motion detection and tracking, we introduce a multiple feature extraction scheme for robust motion detection. The proposed algorithms include 1) multiple image feature extraction including the detection of interesting points and color clusters, 2)adaptive thresholding selection based on the compactness measures of fuzzy sets in image feature space, 3) a flexible model of human motion adapted in both rigid and non-rigid conditions, and 4) an optimized algorithm for object tracking and fuzzy decision making.
