Abstract(in English) Human fall detection has been on immense interest for elderly care. In this tequnical report, we propose a novel system for indoor fall detection with use of multiple infrared sensors. Our key idea is to virtually deploy convolutional neural networks on 2-D array of connected sensor nodes. The system can automatically tune its parameter set with a deep learning algorithm carried out within the sensor network where each IoT node transfers data to each other, and operates convolution and pooling. We confirmed our method could successfully detect human fall with 92.2% precision and 79.2% recall through our dataset collected by 55 gait instances.
