Claim One:
1. A method for inferring an area of interest in a two-dimensional image depicting at least one person, the method comprising, with a computing system, algorithmically: locating the at least one person in the image; determining, from the image, a spatial configuration of at least a portion of the at least one person located in the image; estimating a three-dimensional position of the person from the determined spatial configuration; analyzing the three-dimensional position of the person using a proxemics analysis; determining a type of human interaction likely depicted in the image based on the proxemics analysis; and inferring an area of interest in the image based on the determined type of human interaction, the area of interest at least partially spaced from the at least one person, and the area of interest having a size that is greater than zero and less than the size of the entire image.
