1.1 Introduction
Fall detection system based on cloud environment usually embedded in the human activity area with wireless sensor networks, infrared sensors, sound sensors, pressure sensors, radar and other sensors to capture body movements and posture information. Most environmental-based devices use pressure sensors to detect and track objects (Lee et al., 2013; Cheng et al., 2013; Feldwieser et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2013). As it senses all the pressure changes around the object, it is prone to false alarms and reduces the accuracy of fall detection. The image processing Cloud System Environment (CSE) consists of three establishing service layers: an infrastructure, platform, and software (Liu et al., 2016). All these layers will formulate the needed environment for image processing cloud model, which could be one or more of the deployment models: Public, Community, Private and Hybrid Clouds.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
