Claim 18:
19. A method for debugging images and tracking objects within a space comprising:
during a first time period, at a sensor block:
capturing a sequence of frames depicting a region-of-interest by an optical sensor arranged within the sensor block;
for each frame in the sequence of frames:
detecting a set of objects within the region-of-interest in the frame; and
for each object in the set of objects:
detecting an object type, in a set of object types, of the object; and
detecting a location of the object, at a time of the frame, within the first region-of-interest in the frame;

storing object types and object locations of the set of objects, detected in the sequence of frames, in a container in a set of containers; and
transmitting the set of containers to a computer system; and

at the computer system:
retrieving a commissioning image annotated with a region-of-interest and a corresponding boundary from a database of annotated commissioning images captured by a set of sensor blocks comprising the first sensor block during a setup period preceding the first time period;
calculating a frequency of presence of a first object type, in the set of object types, intersecting the boundary of the region-of-interest over the first time period based on the set of containers;
calculating a color value for the first object type, in the set of object types, based on the frequency of presence;
populating a set of subregions of the commissioning image corresponding to locations of objects detected as the first object type, in the set of object types, with the color value; and
generating a heatmap of the region-of-interest for the first time period based on the commissioning image.
