Cost effective thermal and visible imaging for security and surveillance
The main objective of the team project is to gain an effective approach for different healthcare applications by combining smart home technology with healthcare technology based on thermography capable of monitoring vital signs and activities of daily living (adl)
The main objective is to gain an effective approach for different healthcare applications by combining smart home technology with healthcare technology based on thermography. The thermography is a free-contact technology that can detect emergency situations such falls and provide continuous monitoring of the elderly’s health status through the monitoring of vital signs (breathing, heart rate), activities of daily living (ADL) and detection of emergency situations (falls).
The smart home sensors will be used to represent many different types of context information. These sensors together with thermography imaging will be used to find patterns in data that do not conform to the expected behavior. In this context, anomaly detection will be used for detecting anomalies in daily activities and indoor location will provide fine-grained location-based services to the elderly.
