Abstract

This chapter examines the current state of the art on the subject of HAR. It starts with a general introduction regarding the HAR pipeline and then focuses on various already implemented HAR systems relevant to our research. It also highlights particular aspects of these systems such as sensing technologies, types of activities, ML approaches and real-time computing.
