Real-time classification of various types of falls and activities of daily livings based on CNN LSTM network

In this research, two multiclass models have been developed and implemented, namely, a standard long-short-term memory (LSTM) model and a Convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with LSTM (CNN-LSTM) model. Both models operate on raw acceleration data stored in the Sisfall public dataset. These models have been trained using the TensorFlow framework to classify and recognize among ten different events: five separate falls and five activities of daily livings (ADLs). An accuracy of more than 96% has been reached in the first 200 epochs of the training process. Furthermore, a real-time prototype for recognizing falls and ADLs has been implemented and developed using the TensorFlow lite framework and Raspberry PI, which resulted in an acceptable performance.
