Hristijan Gjoreski: Accelerometer Placement for Activity/Posture Recognition and Fall Detection

Presentation on Accelerometer Placement for Activity/Posture Recognition and Fall Detection given by Hristijan Gjoreski.

The presentation is about an approach to fall detection with accelerometers that exploits posture recognition to identify postures that may be the result of a fall. Posture recognition as a standalone task was also studied. Nine placement combination of up to four sensors were considered: on the waist, chest, thigh and ankle.
