Abstract
A method of determining a location for placement of a package in an imaging controller includes: obtaining depth data of a package space; detecting an occluded portion of the depth data representing an area of the package space obstructed by an occlusion; retrieving stored unobstructed depth data representing the area of the package space in the absence of the occlusion; replacing the occluded portion with the unobstructed depth data to generate patched depth data; obtaining, based on the patched depth data, a location within the package space for placement of a package; and presenting an indication of the location.
