  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Contactless Human Activity Analysis

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 200))

Abstract

Human Activity Analysis (HAA) is a prominent research field in this modern era which has enlightened us with the opportunities of monitoring regular activities or the surrounding environment as per our desire. In recent times, Contactless Human Activity Analysis (CHAA) has added a new dimension in this domain as these systems perform without any wearable device or any kind of physical contact with the user. We have analyzed different modalities of CHAA and arranged them into three major categories: RF-based, sound-based, and vision-based modalities. In this chapter, we have presented state-of-the-art modalities, frequently faced challenges with some probable solutions, and currently used applications of CHAA with future directions.
