Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
accessing an 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 set of objects in the first image based on an object classification model;
based on the object classification model, for each object in the set of objects:
generating a bounding region of the object in the image;
extracting a location of the object proportional to the field of view of the sensor block from the image;
generating an orientation of the object proportional to the bounding region; and
calculating a confidence value of the object;

generating a feature set for the first image based on the set of objects;
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 feature set 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; and
calculating a workstation utilization rate based on the series of occupancy conditions.
