Starting from an algorithm coded in a high-level language which has shown to perform well, both in terms of accuracy and of computation efficiency, the simplified version can be implemented on an FPGA. After describing the original algorithm, we describe how it has been simplified for hardware implementation. We show how the intrinsic modularity of the algorithm permits to define a ...

INTRODUCTION A number of different approaches for the implementation of Home Automation Systems (HAS) have been proposed, featuring different balances among complexity, performance and flexibility [1, 2, 3]. However, interoperability and costs are still crucial issues, which ...

In this paper we describe two fall detectors, based on bio-inspired algorithms. Such devices can either operate independently or be part of a modular and easily extensible architecture, able to manage different areas of an intelligent environment. In this case, effective data fusion can be achieved, thanks to the complementary nature of ...
