Abstract

We present a new fall detection method using a floor sensor based on near field imaging (NFI). The test floor had a resolution of 9 x 16. The shape, size, and magnitude of the patterns are used for classification. A test including 650 events and ten people yielded a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 91%.
