Vision-Based Gait Analysis for Senior Care
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
As the senior population rapidly increases, it is challenging yet crucial to provide effective long-term care for seniors who live at home or in senior care facilities. ...
In this paper, we present a method to perform gait analysis from a single camera placed within the home. ...
To close this gap, an automated, passive, vision-based system for long-term monitoring of senior's gait can facilitate early diagnosis of neurodegeneration via long-term gait characterization. ...
