Abstract

Smart camera-based monitoring systems are capable of tracking and monitoring human activities. In contrast to other monitoring systems, cameras have the advantage of being low-cost and unobtrusive. These features make them particularly suitable for applications such as: 

• remote surveillance with an automated alert system for emergency detection in elderly care settings,
• contactless monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate and body temperature, in telemedicine,
• or the assessment of fatigue levels by analysing eye activity to help prevent driving accidents.

Despite the technological capabilities and benefits of these systems, their use in the real world is currently limited. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to identify the possibilities and limitations of smart camera-based human monitoring systems through a systematic literature review. Then, based on these insights, the most promising approaches will be identified and selected for implementation.
