Abstract

Falling is among the most damaging event elderly people may experience. With the
ever-growing aging population, there is an urgent need for the development of fall
detection systems. Thanks to the rapid development of sensor networks and the
Internet of Things, human-computer interaction using sensor fusion has been
regarded as an effective method to address the problem of fall detection. In this
paper, we provide a literature survey of work conducted on elderly fall detection using
sensor networks. Although there are various existing studies which focus on the fall
detection with individual sensors, such as wearable ones and depth cameras, the
performance of these systems are still not satisfying as they suffer mostly from high
false alarms. Literature shows that fusing the signals of different sensors could result
in higher accuracy and lower false alarms, while improving the robustness of such
systems. We approach this survey from different perspectives, including data
collection, data transmission, sensor fusion, data analysis, security, and privacy. We
also review the benchmark data sets available that have been used to quantify the
performance of the proposed methods.
