In the existing SVM-based fall detection algorithms, the fall actions and the activities of daily living (ADLs) are similar in sample size. In real life, however, there are far more ADLs than fall actions. Thus, the seemingly accurate detection in experiments often does not apply to real life. To solve the problem, this paper takes acceleration and angle as feature vectors, and introduces the asymmetrical support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The penalty coefficient was configured by changing the diagonal matrix parameters of the kernel function, and the hyperplane was adjusted to approximate the fall action with the smallest possible sample size, seeking to accurately determine the occurrence of fall actions. Through experimental simulation, it is verified that the proposed model can accurately detect 99.2% of fall actions.
