abstract: Occupancy in indoor areas can be estimated using different technological and methodological solutions, whose complexity increases according to the required performance.
The main approaches can be divided in two categories that use indirect and direct measurements.
In this project activity will be analyzed the use of indirect measurements to estimate the occupancy. In this category the occupancy is inferred from the perturbation of indirect parameters like temperature, humidity, and light. The main advantage is the low complexity of the adopted hardware. However, the methodology for data processing is very complex because the correlation between environmental data and people presence is not univocal. 
The goal of this project is to analyze some indirect measurements that come from some laboratory environments, in order to detect some strange pattern or behavior of the data that can be used to estimate the person occupancy of every specific area.
