Abstract

In this paper we present a system for detecting unusual events in smart home environments. A primary appli-cation of this is to prolong independent living for elderly people at their homes. We show how to effectively combine information from multiple heterogeneous sensors which are typically present in a smart home scenario. Data fusion is done in a 3D voxel occupancy grid. Graph Cuts are used to accurately reconstruct people in the scene. Additionally we present a joint multi object Viterbi tracking framework, which allows tracking of all people, and simultaneously detecting critical events such as fallen persons.
