Human presence detection is the task of determining whether one or more people are present within a monitored environment using WiFi Channel State Information, by analyzing the perturbations that human bodies introduce into wireless signal propagation. It matters for the field because it represents one of the most foundational sensing problems, enabling a wide range of downstream applications such as smart home automation, security monitoring, and energy management without requiring cameras or wearable devices. Key variants include binary occupancy detection (presence versus absence), crowd counting or occupancy estimation (determining the number of individuals present), and domain-adaptive formulations that address the challenge of deploying trained models across different environments, as explored in few-shot learning approaches like DASECount.
