The aim of this project is to develop a system that would be suitable for promoting a better quality of life for elderly people through "intelligent" assistance systems equipped with image processing. Specifically, the planned research aims to record body poses, activities of daily living (e.g. eating, cooking, watching TV, accidents), emotions and general activity level (active vs. passive) based on the video data in order to determine behavioral changes, to recognize the general emotional state (e.g. depression), dangerous situations (e.g. falling), the ability to cope independently in everyday life and the general acceptance of technology and, if necessary, to make recommendations (e.g. "go for a walk").
