Abstract

Falls in the elderly represent a serious challenge for the global population. To address it, monitoring of daily living has been suggested, with radar emerging to be a useful platform for it due to its various benefits with acceptance and privacy. Here, we show results from the use of an S band radar for activity detection and the importance of selecting specific frequency bins to improve its suitability for human movement classification. The use of feature selection to improve detection of key activities such as falls has been presented. Initial results of 65% are improved to 85% and further to 90% with the aforementioned methods.
