Claim 16:
17. A fall-detection system, comprising:
one or more cameras configured to capture a sequence of video images including a person;
one or more processors;
a memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
receive a sequence of video images comprising a person being monitored;
process the sequence of video images by, for each video image in the sequence of video images:
detecting the person in the video image; and
extracting a skeletal figure of the detected person by identifying a set of human keypoints from the detected person;

process the sequence of skeletal figures corresponding to the sequence of video images by labeling each skeletal figure in the sequence of skeletal figures with an action among a set of predetermined actions; and
generate a fall/non-fall decision for the detected person based on the set of action labels corresponding to the sequence of video images.
