Computer vision for active assisted living (AAL)
About
Technologies for Active and Assisted Living (AAL) aim to improve the quality of life of elderly individuals and persons with disability, promoting independent and healthier living environments.
The use of computer vision plays an important role in the realm of AAL whereby, through the processing of images, activities of daily living can be monitored, and potential hazards may be detected with the aim of providing assistance in a timely manner.
This webinar will offer a glimpse of the ongoing work within the GoodBrother COST Action, highlighting the application of computer vision to AAL. Beyond the technical considerations, this webinar will also discuss the ethical and privacy implications of video-based monitoring for assisted living.

Francisco Florez-Revuelta is Professor of Computer Vision for Active Assisted Living at the Department of Computer Technology, University of Alicante (Spain), and a member of the University Institute for Computer Research (IUII).
He leads the Research Group on Ambient Intelligence for Active and Healthy Ageing (AmI4AHA). His main research work is focused on monitoring technologies for active assisted living or active and healthy ageing. He is particularly interested in the use of video-based sensors for the provision of care in personal and care homes.
His research also addresses the ethical and privacy concerns of the use of cameras in private spaces. He is currently the coordinator of visuAAL - Privacy-Aware and Acceptable Video-Based Technologies and Services for Active and Assisted Living, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, funded under the Horizon 2020 programme.
He is also the Chair of the GoodBrother COST Action - International Network on Privacy-Aware Audio- and Video-Based Applications for Active and Assisted Living.
