Kinect-Based Monitoring System to Prevent Seniors Who Live Alone from Solitary Death

摘要

In this study, a monitoring system was implemented to prevent solitary death of seniors who live alone. When monitoring activities of seniors who live alone, in order to protect their privacy, color (RGB) camera and depth (3D) sensor of Kinect are used to extract the skeleton and collect data. The collected data use WCF(Windows Communication Foundation) to record the images on a regular basis and send the images to DB with a designated interval. Sencha touch was used for monitoring the images saved in DB in mobile and PC.
