Moreover, the sensing modality used must preserve the identity of those being monitored. In this paper, we investigate the use of thermal camera for fall detection, since it effectively masks the identity of those being monitored. We formulate the fall detection problem as an anomaly detection problem and aim to use autoencoders to identify falls. We also present a new anomaly scoring method to combine the reconstruction score of a frame across different video sequences. Our experiments suggests that Convolutional LSTM autoencoders perform better than convolutional and deep autoencoders in detecting unseen falls.
