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.

“…In the healthcare area, the use of contactless technologies has also grown [19,20] through the adoption of either wireless technologies or IoT ecosystems. In the last decade, the monitoring and collection of vital signs using contactless techniques has received particular attention due to the nonintrusive action and privacy of patients [21,22]. The use of sensors and cameras in indoor environments for health surveillance and remote monitoring brings clear advantages from a financial and logistical point.…”

Internet of Things Assisted Monitoring Using Ultrasound-Based Gesture Recognition Contactless System

In the last decade, we have seen an increase in the use cases of digital technologies in our daily lives, including advanced systems such as our mobile applications, smart digital kiosks for intelligent retailing, touch screens for ordering food, or simple implementations such as the ticket machines in the butchers. However, from the perspective of interaction design, those sensing systems suffer from a range of limitations like low usability and poor hygiene. For example, the elderly or the disabled normally have huge difficulties when interacting with these types of digital systems. Moreover, the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has made us to rethink the contact manner for interaction with the digital devices. Hence, in this paper, we have presented a novel solution for digital interaction through a contactless manner. Such a system can provide human gesture recognition and therefore it can be integrated into others to achieve contactless control. We have implemented a prototype based on cost efficient sensors to validate the idea's feasibility. A sequence of real world experiments has also been conducted to evaluate its performance. This system is composed with 1) piece of hardware-a grid of ultrasound sensors to capture the distance information from a human body; 2) a piece of software to analyse the data for gesture predictions. The analysis results then will be transformed into control commands to interact with the attached system. The experimental results have shown that the proposed system is capable of providing a contactless Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and also has a great opportunity to replace existing touching interaction manner with a remote control scheme.
