1. An apparatus for monitoring an orientation of a subject in a predetermined volume, comprising:
- an image capture device that captures an image of the predetermined volume;
a processing device that processes said captured image of the predetermined volume to produce a three-dimensional model that is analyzed for indications that a predetermined feature of the subject in the three-dimensional model of the predetermined volume is within a certain range of dimensional limits corresponding to a fallen subject; and
a notification device that provides a notification when the processing device determines that said predetermined feature of the subject represents the fallen subject.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for analyzing an orientation of a subject. An image of an area that includes a subject to be monitored is captured, so that a model can be produced. A consistency test is then performed on the produced model to determine predetermined features of the subject. In response to a predetermined result of the consistency test, an undesired orientation of the subject is indicated.
