Even when it does not result in death, it permanantly damages physiology and psychology. Fall must be detected timely and effectively to enable early intervention. In this work we propose a method that detects falls using foreground segmentations obtained from multiple omnidirectional cameras in a Bayesian framework. We observed that the method not only successfully detects falls in videos containing different actions, but it is also robust to high noise and occlusions.
