Abstract

With the adoption of increasing number of occupancy sensor in building premises, there is a growing concern about the inclusion of the smarter features for catering up sophisticated demands of information processing in Internet-of-Things (IoT). Although, there are various commercially available occupancy sensors, but there is a bigger deal of trade-off between the existing offered featured and actual demands of the user that is quite dynamic. Therefore, we reviewed the most potential research work carried out towards incorporating various features of occupancy sensor in present times in order to investigate the degree of effectiveness in existing research contribution with respect to problems, techniques, advantages, and limitation. This is the first reported review manuscript in occupancy sensing that offers a quick view of existing research trends as well as brief of potential research gap with respect to open-end problems that are yet to be solved in future studies.
