Falls are sudden accidental injuries, and a real-time fall detection system can mitigate the severe consequences of delayed detection by providing timely assistance to the individual who has fallen. In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies such as deep learning, various fall detection methods have been developed. Based on this, this paper proposes a multi-modal fall detection system that integrates accelerometers and video surveillance. The system simultaneously detects the target using both video surveillance and accelerometers, and then performs decision fusion to obtain the final detection result. Experimental evaluations on the UR Fall Detection dataset demonstrate that the developed multi-sensor fusion fall detection system achieves higher accuracy compared to single modality fall detection methods using either video surveillance or accelerometer sensors.
