In this paper, fall detection algorithm using multiple passive infrared sensors is developed. As a novel method for detecting a falling person, two passive infrared sensors are used concurrently in a room and developed a determination algorithm depending on the height at which the falling event is happened. Motionles detection system is integrated with the falling person detection system to provide a complete solution. Detection algorithms are implemented using embedded microprocessors. © 2013 IEEE.TurkishEmbedded systemsFalling person detectionMotionless detectionPIR sensorVibration sensorAmbient assisted livingDetection algorithmDetermination algorithmEmbedded microprocessorsPassive infrared sensorsPerson detectionPir sensorsVibration sensorsAutomationEmbedded systemsInfrared detectorsIntelligent buildingsSignal detectionSensorsConference Paper10.1109/SIU.2013.6531531
