Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
accessing a first image recorded by a sensor block at a first time, the sensor block defining a field of view intersecting a work area and encompassing a workstation in the work area;
detecting a first set of objects in the first image based on an object classification model;
accessing a first occupancy template for the work area, the first occupancy template defining a first set of significant object types corresponding to a vacant condition in the work area;
accessing a second occupancy template for the work area, the second occupancy template defining a second set of significant object types corresponding to a reserved condition in the work area;
accessing a third occupancy template for the work area, the third occupancy template defining a third set of significant object types corresponding to an occupied condition in the work area;
interpreting a first occupancy condition of the workstation based on an intersection of the first set of objects with significant object types defined in one of the first occupancy template, the second occupancy template, and the third occupancy template;
storing the first occupancy condition in a series of occupancy conditions derived for the workstation over a first sampling period;
calculating a workstation utilization rate for the work area based on the series of occupancy conditions; and
in response to a target utilization rate exceeding the workstation utilization rate, generating a prompt to reduce a size of the work area.
