Abstract: In order to help the elderly and limit the incidence of falls that result in injuries, effective fall detection in smart home applications is a challenging topic. Many techniques have been created employing both vision and non-vision-based technologies. Many researchers have been drawn to the vision-based technique amongst them because of its viability and application. However, there is still room for improvement in the effectiveness of fall detection given the poor accuracy rate and high computational cost issues with current vision-based techniques. This study introduces a new dataset for posture and fall detection, whose photo images were gathered from Internet resources and data augmentation. It employs YOLO networks for fall detection purpose. Furthermore, different YOLO networks are implemented on our dataset to address the most accurate and effective model. Based on assessment parameters including accuracy, F1 score, recall, and mAP, the performance of the various YOLOv5n, s and YOLOv6s versions are compared. As experimental results showed, the YOLOv5s performed better than other.
