The proposed system used stereo type depth camera by examining the human action recognition and also sleep monitoring in the elderly care center. Different regions of interest (ROI) are extracted using the U-Disparity and V-Disparity maps. The main information used for recognition is 3D human centroid height relative to the floor and percentage of movement from frame differencing for sleep monitoring. The results from the experiments of the proposed method show that this system can detect the person location, sitting or lying and also sleep behaviors effectively.
