Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent old-age care monitoring and early warning system and method, and relates to the field of intelligent old-age care, and the system comprises an image collection module, an image recognition module, a decision making module and an early warning module. The image collection module is used for shooting daily life images of the elderly living at home; the image recognition module is used for carrying out behavior posture recognition on the image information acquired by the image acquisition module, that is, gait recognition is carried out, that is, gait features are extracted; the decision making module is used for judging whether an abnormal condition exists or not according to the behavior posture recognition result, and sending early warning information to the alarm module, the mobile equipment of the family member or / and the related platform when the abnormal condition exists; and the early warning module is arranged in the home of the elderly living at home, and gives an alarm to remind the elderly to stop the current action and have a rest when receiving the early warning information of the decision making module.
