Abstract: Various embodiments of a vision-based privacy-preserving embedded fall-detection system are disclosed. This embedded fall-detection system can include one or more cameras for capturing video images of one or more persons. Moreover, this embedded fall-detection system can include various fall-detection modules for processing the captured video images including: a pose-estimation module, an action-recognition module, and a fall-detection module, all of which can perform the intended fall-detection functionalities within the embedded system environment in real-time in order to detect falls of the one or more persons.

Abstract: A method for calculating an INS initial heading angle error includes comparing an RTK trajectory with an INS trajectory under a tilt RTK application scenario, which may achieve heading angle initialization with an accuracy of 1 deg within 2 seconds. An INS trajectory estimation method eliminates accelerometers, and a large initial gyro bias is compensated by averaging the stationary gyro measurement at the beginning of the measurement to ensure the accuracy of the estimated INS trajectory. A rather short initialization duration also greatly improves the measurement efficiency. Compared with common heading initialization methods for the tilt RTK, the inventive method eliminates magnetometers and thus prevents interference from magnetic fields, obtaining stronger adaptability in complex environments.
