Automated procedure-determination and decision-generation

Methods and systems for automated monitoring are described herein. In various embodiments, image data of an enclosed area captured by an imaging device (102), audio data captured from the enclosed area by a sound sensor (104), and odor data captured from the enclosed area by an odor sensor (106), may be obtained by a computing device (HO). Based on the image, audio, and odor data, a determination (400) of an activity taking place within the enclosed area may be made. In various embodiments, one or more objects or persons in the enclosed area may be identified by performing image processing on the image data. The determined activity may be compared with corresponding data and parameters previously stored in a rules and schedules database (120). Based on the comparison and a decision generated by the rules and schedules database, an action may be selected to be performed.
