Abstract:
Activity recognition has become an important feature in smart environments designed for helping old people living alone and independently in their homes. This paper presents a model for detecting emergencies in case of human activity recognition in such a smart environment. The emergencies detection is performed using a stochastic context-free grammar with attributes together with a domain activity ontology for modeling the daily programme of the supervised person.
