HI OpenCV.

Im trying to do a people fall detection program and I found that blob detection is a great way to do it. The question is, how can i do blob detection on people?

Im using c++ and OpenCV.

if you are going to do a fall detection project based on purely blob detection then I wish you the best, we have active PhD researchers over here looking into that same topic for more then 2 years for now and the only conclusion they have is that blob detection just doesn't do the trick :D

And what is a good way to do it? @StevenPuttemans

Combining multiple input data streams for example. Combining RGB with depth information or IR information. Then apply classifiers or learning techniques to model people and model behaviour like falls. Just type in fall detection in google, you will be surprised how complex it can get.

If you share some images for your application would help us to figure out an optimal technique.
