TOF sensor network for AAL monitoring services

Abstract

The main goal of Ambient Assisted Living solutions is to provide assistive technologies and services in smart environments allowing to elderly people to have high quality of life. Since Time-Of-Flight vision technologies are increasingly investigated as monitoring solution able to outperform traditional approaches, in this work a monitoring framework based on a Time-Of-Flight sensor network has been investigated with the aim to provide a wide-range solution suitable in several assisted living scenarios. Detector nodes are managed by a low-power embedded PC to process Time-Of-Flight streams and cxtract features related with person's activities. The feature level of detail is tuned in an application-driven manner in order to optimize both bandwidth and computational resources. The event detection capabilities were validated by using data collected in real-home environments. © 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
