This article presents new approach for unobtrusive indoor fall detection by an IR thermal array sensor. Unlike existing methods that run fall detection at a server and require high communication rates, we perform fall detection within the sensor node by using a computationally inexpensive algorithm that only signals the server when a fall occurs. Experiments with prototype design show that such formulation provides robust and real-time fall detection even in a noisy environment.
