HUMAN BODY DETECTION METHODS

The problem my Individual Bachelor project addresses is the risk of getting injured by a running boat propeller. In order to solve this safety problem I am investigating possibilities to detect humans which are close to the propeller and make a system perform a certain action to prevent injury. The reason for this literature review is to assess if there are any human body detection methods available which could be used to detect the presence of human beings in above and underwater situations. The situation is a very complex one, a constantly changing environment and passing objects with quite high speeds (top speeds up to 90 km/h approx).
