Fall Vision: A Benchmark Video Dataset for Advancing Fall Detection Technology

In this paper, an exhaustive video dataset categorized as fall and no-fall videos is presented, which was compiled for the specific purpose of fall detection research. The dataset comprises three fundamental classifications of falls, namely those originating from a standing position, bed, or chair. After being initially acquired in unprocessed form, these videos underwent subsequent processing to generate seminal videos, which were presented with and without a black backdrop. The dataset was obtained from voluntary participants through the use of handheld devices (e.g., digital cameras or mobile phones), which ensured ethical compliance and informed assent. The dataset provides a substantial asset for the progression of fall detection algorithms, serving as a resilient framework for the development and evaluation of such algorithms. The implementation of fall detection systems is critical, especially in situations involving elderly individuals who occur during medical emergencies that lead to falls and require immediate assistance, or when individuals are solitary and unable to restore their balance after falling. By utilizing this dataset, scientists have the opportunity to investigate a wide range of methodologies, such as deep learning and computer vision, in order to develop and enhance fall detection systems. This video dataset has the potential to contribute to the development of fall detection technology, thereby improving safety protocols for vulnerable populations, due to its availability to researchers.
