Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:
at the first time, detecting a first distribution of objects in the first image;
at the second time, detecting a second distribution of objects in the second image; and
at a third time:
accessing a third image recorded by the sensor block;
detecting a third distribution of objects in the third image;
detecting the work surface present in the work area in the third image;
detecting absence of humans and absence of clusters of objects within the threshold distance of the work surface in the third image;
calculating an object entropy of the work area based on a difference between the first distribution of objects, the second distribution of objects, and the third distribution of objects; and
in response to detecting absence of humans and absence of clusters of objects within the threshold distance of the work surface and in response to the object entropy exceeding an entropy threshold:
updating the occupancy status of the work surface to indicate the work surface as vacant; and
generating a notification to alert maintenance staff to straighten the work area.
