Inspiration
Both my grandmother on my mothers side and fathers side suffer from injuries and sickness. Although we do our best to be with them at all times, it is not always enough. That is why I decided to make a hack that guards our loved ones.
What it does
It detects when a subject falls and sends a message to their loved ones to alert them about the incident. It also has the ability to directly call authorities in case of a serious injury.
How we built it
Using OpenCV for the video/image parsing and mediapipe for the piping and posture recognition. I also used twilio to send messages.
Challenges we ran into
- Making sure the model accurately and timely identified whether someone was standing, sitting, or falling down towards the ground.
- Allowing for video as input instead of images.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Being able to accurately detect the posture of a person from a small model.
What's next for Fallguys
- Add more robust features such as a live dashboard to see the state of your loved one at that time.
