| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 工程科學及海洋工程學研究所 === 106 === Population aging has become an important issue in the past ten years. Taiwan as an example, the birth rate decays year by year and has become the bottom of the world. Depending on Taiwan’s economy and other factors, some researches had shown that our death rate will exceed birth rate and further accelerate population aging problem. To face population aging problem, relative policies and assistive technologies become very important.
As the great progress in both semiconductor manufacturing and algorithm, computational speed had grown rapidly. Artificial neural network(ANN) was a tough issue due to the lack of computation power. But as the advance of our hardware, from unit processor to multi-processors, GPU performance improvement and relative auxiliary software. These had led artificial neural network(ANN) regained attention. Later as convolution neural network(CNN) flourished, image processing technology also grown significantly.
In our thesis, we proposed a home care surveillance system based on image processing and artificial neural network. We expect to achieve automatic monitoring to enhance elder home care safety.
