Vision-Based Gerontechnology
Overview
cv2-dnn based face-tracking Raspberry Pi module to detect falls and trigger fail-safes.
Project Overview
I built a specialized hardware module focused on assisting the elderly (Gerontechnology). The system acts as an automated observer that can detect falls and trigger appropriate fail-safes.
Technical Details
- Technology: Built on a Raspberry Pi using a cv2-dnn based face-tracking framework.
