Audio Feature Engineering for Occupancy and Activity Estimation in Smart Buildings

The occupancy and activity estimation are fields that have been severally researched in the past few years. However, the different techniques used include a mixture of atmospheric features such as humidity and temperature, many devices such as cameras and audio sensors, or they are limited to speech...
