Abstract
A method for container location analysis, preferably including one or more of: determining a candidate geofence, determining a set of geofences, and/or adjusting geofence positions. A system for fill level determination, preferably including a computing system, and optionally including one or more containers and/or one or more location sensors associated with each container.
Claims21
A method for location analysis, comprising:
- receiving a set of initial geofences, each initial geofence of the set defining a respective position in a space and a respective shape;
- determining a plurality of candidate geofence positions in the space;
- for each initial geofence of the set:
- selecting a neighboring geofence from the set of initial geofences;
- based on the initial geofence and the neighboring geofence, selecting, from the plurality of candidate geofence positions, a respective set of candidate geofence positions;
- and
- if the respective set of candidate geofence positions consists of a single candidate geofence position, adding the initial geofence to an eligible subset of geofences;
- based on the respective sets of candidate geofence positions, determining an eligible subset of candidate geofence positions, wherein no candidate geofence position of the eligible subset of candidate geofence positions is included in more than one respective set of candidate geofence positions;
- and
- for each geofence of the eligible subset of geofences, if the respective single candidate geofence position is included in the eligible subset of candidate geofence positions, relocating the geofence position to the respective single candidate geofence position, wherein, for a first geofence of the eligible subset of geofences, the respective single candidate geofence position is included in the eligible subset of candidate geofence positions.
