Abstract
This paper describes an abnormal behavior discriminating system based on an omni-directional vision sensor as one of the important elements in realizing "Sensing and Robotic Support Room" for elderly people. Such support rooms are expected to be further developed in the future with the high performance to automatically recognize elderly people's actions and behavior patterns and detect the unusual patterns using some sensors and to support their daily motions using some robotic manipulator control systems. The proposed monitoring system using an omni-directional vision sensor automatically learns the daily behavior patterns and detects the unusual behavior patterns and actions using logistic regression. Some experimented results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
