1. A method in a server, the method comprising:
receiving sensor data from an edge computing device, the sensor data generated by a sensor array disposed on a support surface carrying items;
detecting, from the sensor data, a set of regions of the sensor array corresponding to respective items carried on the support surface;
generating, for each region, a corresponding monitoring definition, each monitoring definition containing:
a location of the region within the array,
a noise compensation indicator, and
an item presence indicator;

sending the monitoring definitions to the edge computing device;
subsequent to sending the monitoring definitions, receiving item count data from the edge computing device, the item count data derived at the edge computing device from further sensor data generated by the sensor array, based on the monitoring definitions.
