Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for debugging images and tracking objects within a space comprising:
during a first time period, at a first sensor block:
capturing a first sequence of frames by an optical sensor arranged in the first sensor block;
for each frame in the first sequence of frames:
detecting a first set of objects within a first region-of-interest in the frame; and
for each object in the first set of objects:
detecting an object type, in a set of object types, of the object; and
detecting a location of the object, at a time of the frame, within the first region-of-interest in the frame;

storing object types and object locations of the first set of objects, detected in the first sequence of frames, in a first set of containers; and
transmitting the first set of containers to a computer system; and

at the computer system:
accessing a first commissioning image, captured by the first sensor block during a setup period preceding the first time period, representing the first region-of-interest;
initializing a first visualization layer representing the first region-of-interest;
for each pixel in a set of pixels in the first visualization layer:
calculating a frequency of presence of a first object type, in the set of object types, intersecting the pixel over the first time period based on the first set of containers;
calculating a color value for the pixel based on the frequency of presence; and
assigning the color value to the pixel in the first visualization layer; and

generating a heatmap of the first region-of-interest for the first time period based on the first visualization layer and the first commissioning image.
