Wise Information Technology of Med: Human Pose Recognition in Elderly Care

The growing problem of aging has led to a social concern on how to take care of the elderly living alone. Many traditional methods based on visual cameras have been used in elder monitoring. However, these methods are difficult to be applied in daily life, limited by high storage space with the came...

description The growing problem of aging has led to a social concern on how to take care of the elderly living alone.
