The fall causes minor to major injuries in human beings due to accidents, weakness in muscles, loss of balance etc. Therefore, the researchers have given the solutions for various fall detection systems using sensors, actuators, accelerometers along with integration of software modules. These proposed solutions are effective within the specific scope of their usage, but they require tight integration between hardware and software modules. Considering this, in this paper, an attempt has been made to provide a software solution by using computer vision approaches. The proposed system determines the fall by detecting and measuring the human body’s change in the center of gravity, inclination angle and velocity of fall. New features have been highlighted for the development of further fall detection models.
