A method is proposed for the selection of a range of sensors and for multiple data fusion. The system was evaluated on 7 young and 4 elderly healthy subjects who performed scenarios of daily activities (sleeping, eating, walking, and transfer) within a controlled environment. These activities were correctly classified with an overall sensitivity and specificity of 67.0% (out of 267 activities) and 52.6% (502) for the group of young people, and of 86.9% (222) and 59.3% (492) for the elderly group. The results were better with activities commonly performed in a dedicated location (i.e., taking meals in the kitchen, toileting in the bathroom). The results are acceptable with a reduced set of sensors although numerous and\/or more informative sensors (i.e., video, sound detection, sensitive floors, etc.) give higher results at the cost of more cumbersome and costly systems, difficult to deploy in a private home and eventually more intrusive.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jehmc.2012070103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,15]],"date-time":"2012-08-15T20:08:56Z","timestamp":1345061336000},"page":"29-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Fusion of Multiple Sensors Sources in a Smart Home to Detect Scenarios of Activities in Ambient Assisted Living"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Norbert","family":"Noury","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lyon, France"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Barralon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tecnalia Health Technologies Unit, Spain & University of Grenoble, France"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Vuillerme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Grenoble, France"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Fleury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Lille and University of Grenoble, France"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jehmc.2012070103-0","unstructured":"Barralon, P., Noury, N., & Vuillerme, N.
