Abstract : In this modern era where the population and life expectancy are continuously increasing, the demand for an advanced healthcare system is increasing at an unprecedented rate. This paper presents a novel and cost-effective fall detection system for home surveillance which uses a surveillance video to detect the fall. The advantage of the proposed system is that it doesn’t need the person to carry or wear a device. The proposed system uses background subtraction to detect the moving object and marks it with a bounding box. Furthermore, few rules are based on the measures extracted from the bounding box and contours around the moving object. These rules are used with the transitions of a finite state machine (FSM) to detect the fall. It is done using the posture and shape analysis with two measures viz height and speed of falling. An alarm is sent when the fall is confirmed. The proposed approach is tested on three datasets URD, FDD and multicam. The obtained results show that proposed system works with an average accuracy of 97.16% and excels the previous approaches.
