Multi-modal Person Localization And Emergency Detection Using The Kinect
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research in Artificial Intelligence(IJARAI) - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Person localization is of paramount importance in an ambient intelligence environment since it is the first step towards context-awareness. In this work, we present the development of a novel system for multi-modal person localization and emergency detection in an assistive ambient intelligence environment for the elderly. Our system is based on the depth sensor and microphone array of 2 Kinect devices. We use skeletal tracking conducted on the depth images and sound source localization conducted on the captured audio signal to estimate the location of a person. In conjunction with the location information, automatic speech recognition is used as a natural and intuitive means of communication in order to detect emergencies and accidents, such as falls. Our system attained high accuracy for both the localization and speech recognition tasks, verifying its effectiveness
