Proposal for the Awakening Behavior Detection System Using Images and Adaptation for Fluctuation of Brightness Quantity in the Captured Image

摘要

Recently, accidents such that seniors fall down from the bed in care facilities or hospitals are increased. To prevent these accidents, we have developed the awakening behavior detection system using Neural Network.In this paper, it is a problem that the detection success rate of the current system using captured image in the clinical site is not enough.So, we analyze the captured image in the clinical site. From the result of the histogram analysis, it proves that the fluctuation of brightness quantity makes decrease the detection capability. Therefore, to decrease the influence of the brightness quantity, the histogram of the captured image should be equalized.Finally, we show that the histogram equalization reduces fluctuation of brightness quantity, numerically.
