AFAR: A Real-Time Vision-based Activity Monitoring and Fall Detection Framework using 1D Convolutional Neural Networks
TL;DR: This study proposes an efficient activity monitoring and fall detection framework which can run real-time on CPU devices and makes use of an efficient pose estimator called MediaPipe and leverages the pose joints as the main inputs of the model for activity monitoringand fall detection.

FASENet: A Two-Stream Fall Detection and Activity Monitoring Model Using Pose Keypoints and Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks
TL;DR: FASENet as discussed by the authors proposes a 1D convolutional neural network-based two-stream fall detection and activity monitoring model using squeeze-and-excitation networks, which uses pose keypoints as inputs for the model instead of raw video frames.
