Abstract

Realistic fall detection datasets are difficult to acquire due to the high risks, awkward situation of pretending to be falling and limited to young healthy individuals. In this work we propose to leverage on motion capture data acquired for games and animations, to simulate the recordings of accelerometers and orientation sensors. The simulated sensor values are obtained in the Unity environment. Our dataset allows to further evaluate the generalization properties of previously presented methods by including new types of both falling and non-falling samples. Our case study is the fall detection based on wristband devices.
