# Human Fall Detection with YOLOv11
This model is a specialized version of YOLOv11, fine-tuned to detect human falls in various environments. It is designed to provide real-time alerts for safety monitoring in elderly care facilities, hospitals, and industrial workplaces.


## 🚀 Quick Start (Usage)
You don't need to download the weights manually. You can load and run the model directly using the Python code below:

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import os

model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="melihuzunoglu/human-fall-detection", filename="best.pt")

model = YOLO(model_path)
 
results = model.predict(source="image1.jpg", conf=0.25, save=True)
```


## ✅ Supported Classes (Labels)
The model can detect and distinguish between the following three states:
```python
Fallen: Active falling motion or a person on the ground after a fall.

Sitting: People sitting on chairs, benches, or floor.

Standing: People in an upright, standing position.
```


## 📊 Model Information
```python
Architecture: YOLOv11 (Ultralytics)

Task: Object Detection (Fall Detection)

Input Resolution: 640x640 pixels

Inference Speed: Optimized for real-time applications
```


## 🎯 Target Applications
```python
Elderly Safety: Automated fall detection for home or nursing home environments.

Occupational Health: Monitoring falls in hazardous work zones or construction sites.

Healthcare Support: Providing an extra layer of monitoring for patient rooms.
```


## 🛠 Training Details
The model was trained using the Ultralytics framework. The dataset was curated and pre-processed via Roboflow to ensure high accuracy and minimal false positives in common sitting or lying down scenarios.
