    Abstract: A method for detecting object paths in a workplace, at a sensor block, includes responsive to detecting absence of motion, capturing an initial sequence of frames at a baseline frame rate at a camera and for each frame in the initial sequence of frames: detecting an initial constellation of objects; and transmitting a container representing the initial constellation of objects to a computer system. The method further includes, responsive to detecting motion: capturing a frame at the baseline frame rate at the camera; detecting a first constellation of objects, including a set of humans, in the frame; calculating a quantity of humans; transitioning the camera to a first frame rate; capturing a second sequence of frames at the first frame rate; detecting a second constellation of objects in the second sequence of frames; deriving a set of object paths; and transmitting the set of object paths to the computer system.

    Abstract: A method for mitigating disease transmission in a facility includes: accessing a set of extant disease metrics associated with a reporting period; accessing a set of images of the facility captured during the reporting period by a set of sensor blocks deployed in the facility; aggregating the set of images into a timeseries of facility maps depicting the facility during the reporting period; identifying a set of objects in the timeseries of facility maps, the set of objects comprising a set of humans; generating a transmission feature vector based on the set of objects in the timeseries of facility maps and the set of extant disease metrics associated with the reporting period; calculating a predicted timeseries of health metrics for the facility based on the transmission feature vector and a facility health model; and prompting a mitigation response at the facility based on the predicted timeseries of health metrics.

    Abstract: A system for repeatably mounting an image sensor to a grid ceiling comprising: a mounting member defining an upper face; a set of magnets fixed to the upper face and characterized by a height greater than a protrusion distance of the outer surface of a ceiling tile of the grid ceiling below a grid segment of the grid ceiling; a detachable registration feature transiently coupled to the mounting member, configured to align with the grid ceiling while the set of magnetics are magnetically coupled to the grid ceiling, configured to adhere to the grid ceiling while the set of magnets are magnetically coupled to the grid ceiling, and configured to detach from the upper face and remain adhered to the grid ceiling in response to vertical displacement of the mounting member away from the grid ceiling.

    Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring occupancy in a work area includes, at a sensor block: transitioning from an inactive state into an active state when an output of a motion sensor indicates motion in a work area; during a scan cycle in the active state, recording an image through an optical sensor at a time, detecting a set of humans in the image, detecting a second set of human effects in the image, predicting a second set of humans occupying but absent the work area based on the second set of human effects, and estimating a total occupancy in the work area at the time based on the set of humans and the second set of humans; and transmitting the total occupancy to a remote computer system for update of a scheduler for the work area.

    Abstract: A method includes: recording an image at a sensor block, the sensor block; detecting a set of objects in the image based on an object classification model; generating a feature vector for the image based on the set of objects; accessing a workstation template for the work area, the workstation template defining a set of default objects for each workstation in the work area; identifying a subset of objects comprising an intersection of the set of default objects and the set of objects; removing the subset of objects from the feature vector; accessing an occupancy template for the work area, the occupancy template defining a set of significant objects; classifying the workstation as occupied based on the feature vector and the set of significant objects; and rendering a representation of the workstation at a work area interface, the representation indicating occupancy of the workstation.

    Abstract: One variation of a method includes, at a sensor block: detecting a set of objects within a region-of-interest in a frame; detecting an object type of each object; detecting a location of each object within the region-of-interest; and storing object types and object locations of the set of objects in a set of containers. The method further includes, at the computer system: accessing a database of commissioning images; extracting a commissioning image annotated with boundaries from the database; initializing a visualization layer of a set of pixels representing the region-of-interest; and calculating a frequency of presence of the object type intersecting each pixel based on the set of containers; calculating a color value for each pixel based on the frequency of presence; and assigning the color value to each pixel in the visualization layer; and generating a heatmap of the region-of-interest based on the visualization layer and the commissioning image.
