Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 1:
further comprising at the first time:
accessing a specification of the space defining a set of human indicator values annotated with types of personal objects;
for each object in the set of personal objects:
detecting a type of the personal object;
assigning a human indicator value from the specification to the type of the personal object;
detecting a distance between the personal object and a centroid of the work surface; and
weighting the human indicator value of the personal object based on the distance between the personal object and a centroid of the work surface; and

deriving a probability of the work surface in the occupied with human absent state based on human indicator values of the set of personal objects; and

wherein identifying the work surface in the occupied with human absent state comprises identifying the work surface in the occupied with human absent state:
in response to the probability of the work surface in the occupied with human absent state exceeding a threshold probability; and
in response to detecting absence of humans in the first image.
