Abstract-Lots of aging people rely on a caneasan assistive device to ovoid problems such as leg weakness and balance loss, which are presumed to haveinducedmanyfallincidents. In this paper, we present a new design and implementation of Canne3D system, a local monitoring system for elderly using their connected walking stick. Actually, the 3Dcane is modeled through consideration of real-time movements for a deep understanding of the person's state, including steps counting and calculating the distance traveled. We have applied a simple multi-stage thresholdingmethod based on the acceleration value. Experiments show that the algorithms appear to be robust in term of detection rate and false positive rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
