1. A system for container condition determination, the system comprising:
one or more optical sensors;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions when executed cause the system to:
obtain image data of a container from the one or more optical sensors;
determine from the image data, position information of one or more items located inside the container;
determine from the image data air delivery information in the container;
determine airflow characteristics of the container using the position information of the one or more items and the air delivery information; and
determine, using the airflow characteristics and the position information of the one or more items, a probability of an item of the one or more items being damaged.
