Motion and Region Aware Adversarial Learning for Fall Detection with Thermal Imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Automatic fall detection is a vital technology for ensuring the health and safety of people. Home-based camera systems for fall detection often put people's privacy at risk. Thermal cameras can partially or fully obfuscate facial features, thus preserving the privacy of a person. Another challenge is the less occurrence of falls in comparison to the normal activities of daily living. As fall occurs rarely, it is non-trivial to learn algorithms due to class imbalance. To handle these problems, we formulate fall detection as an anomaly detection within an adversarial framework using thermal imaging. We present a novel adversarial network that comprises of two-channel 3D convolutional autoencoders which reconstructs the thermal data and the optical flow input sequences respectively. We introduce a technique to track the region of interest, a region-based difference constraint, and a joint discriminator to compute the reconstruction error. A larger reconstruction error indicates the occurrence of a fall. The experiments on a publicly available thermal fall dataset show the superior results obtained compared to the standard baseline.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
