Background:

Falls pose a significant health risk to the elderly population.
Accurate fall detection is crucial for timely intervention and care.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel two-stage fall recognition algorithm for elderly individuals.
To improve the accuracy and effectiveness of fall detection systems.

Main Methods:

Utilized OpenPose to extract human skeletons and derived new posture features like deflection angles and spine ratio.
Implemented a two-stage approach: initial state classification (stable, fluctuating, disordered) and a time-continuous recognition algorithm for unstable states.
Employed machine learning classifiers including Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF).

Main Results:

The SVM with a linear kernel demonstrated superior performance in distinguishing falling actions.
Achieved a high detection accuracy of 97.34%, precision of 98.50%, recall of 97.33%, and F1 score of 97.91%.
Outperformed existing state-of-the-art algorithms in recognition accuracy.

Conclusions:

The proposed two-stage fall recognition algorithm is effective and accurate for detecting falls in the elderly.
The novel posture features and time-continuous recognition method contribute to enhanced fall detection capabilities.
This approach offers a promising solution for improving safety and care for the elderly population.
