The diffusion of multirotors in different fields of application comes together with a variety of critical issues. For instance, they often have to operate close to high electric and magnetic fields, like in power lines areas. In order to ensure sufficient reliability in this kind of missions, a small quadcopter has been tested by performing electromagnetic compatibility tests. The experiment was carried...
This paper presents a multi-sensor system for the detection of people falls in the home environment. Two kinds of devices are used: a MEMS wearable wireless accelerometer with onboard fall detection algorithms and a 3D Time-of-Flight camera. An embedded computing system receives the possible fall alarm data from the two sub-sensory systems and their associated level of confidence. The computing module...
This paper presents a hardware and software framework for reliable fall detection in the home environment, with particular focus on the protection and assistance to the elderly. The integrated prototype includes three different sensors: a 3D time-of-flight range camera, a wearable MEMS accelerometer and a microphone. These devices are connected with custom interface circuits to a central PC that collects...
