DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our objective is to explore new information technologies to assist the independent living of elderly people and enhance their quality of life at home, while utilizing the time and attention of caregivers and eldercare specialists in the highest efficiency. Our multidisciplinary research team will design a privacy-protecting wireless video sensor network to collect continuous video data about the resident's activities at home. We will develop a statistical activity modeling framework to analyze the video data for automated functional assessment and abnormal activity detection. Based on the results from the automated activity analysis, we will develop an video summarization scheme to transform the voluminous video data into a compact and meaningful activity record for fast and efficient functional assessment and problem diagnosis. The abnormal activity detection will help reducing the risks of independent living by detecting falls and other unusual activity patterns that indicate changing conditions or health crisis. The continuous video monitoring and automated activity analysis and summarization will significantly improve the eldercare efficiency. The proposed technologies will be tested and evaluated at TigerPlace, a unique independent-living, apartment-style eldercare facility designed by the Sinclair School of Nursing at University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). Access to this cutting edge facility affiliated with MU provides an exceptional opportunity to accomplish our research aims. The potential risks of the elderly people living alone and the dreadful consequences of late response to abnormal situations call for the proposed technology. The remarkable growth of the elderly population and the shortage of eldercare professionals underscore the significance of the proposed research.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的目标是探索新的信息技术，以帮助老年人独立生活，提高他们在家中的生活质量，同时以最高的效率利用护理人员和老年护理专家的时间和注意力。我们的多学科研究团队将设计一个隐私保护的无线视频传感器网络，以收集有关居民在家中活动的连续视频数据。我们将开发一个统计活动建模框架来分析视频数据，以进行自动功能评估和异常活动检测。基于自动化活动分析的结果，我们将开发一个视频摘要方案，将大量的视频数据转换为紧凑和有意义的活动记录，用于快速有效的功能评估和问题诊断。异常活动检测将通过检测指示变化的条件或健康危机的福尔斯和其他异常活动模式来帮助降低独立生活的风险。持续的视频监控和自动化的活动分析和总结将显着提高老年人护理效率。拟议的技术将在TigerPlace进行测试和评估，TigerPlace是由密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）辛克莱护理学院设计的独特的独立生活公寓式老年人护理设施。访问这个与MU附属的尖端设施提供了一个特殊的机会来实现我们的研究目标。独居老人的潜在风险和对异常情况反应迟缓的可怕后果要求提出这项技术。老年人口的显着增长和老年护理专业人员的短缺强调了拟议研究的重要性。
