Claim 15:
16. A method for debugging images and tracking objects within a space comprising:
at a first sensor block in a set of sensor blocks, during a first time period:
capturing a sequence of frames depicting a region-of-interest by an optical sensor arranged in the first sensor block;
for each frame in the sequence of frames:
detecting a set of objects in the frame; and
for each object in the 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 sequence of frames, in a set of containers; and
transmitting the set of containers to a computer system; and

at the computer system:
accessing a database of commissioning images annotated with regions-of-interest and corresponding boundaries captured by the set of sensor blocks during a setup period preceding the first time period;
initializing a composite visualization layer representing the space;
for each pixel in a set of pixels in the composite visualization layer:
calculating a frequency of presence of each object type, in the set of object types, intersecting the pixel over the first time period based on the 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 composite visualization layer; and

generating a composite heatmap of the space representing object usage patterns of object types for the first time period based on the composite visualization layer and the database of commissioning images.
