Claim 13:
14. A method for monitoring occupancy comprising:
accessing a first image recorded by a sensor block, the sensor block defining a field of view intersecting a space within a facility and encompassing a first work surface and a second work surface in the space;
detecting absence of humans within a threshold distance of the first work surface in the first image;
detecting a first set of personal objects in the first image, the first set of personal objects carried by humans in the space and excluding assets affiliated with the space;
in response to detecting absence of humans in the first image and in response to detecting the first set of personal objects within the threshold distance of the first work surface, identifying the first work surface in an occupied with human absent state;
detecting a human within the threshold distance of the second work surface in the first image;
in response to detecting the human within the threshold distance of the second work surface, identifying the second work surface in an occupied with human present state; and
updating a scheduler to indicate the first work surface in the occupied with human absent state and to indicate the second work surface in the occupied with human present state.
