1. A computer-implemented method to determine available storage space, comprising:
receiving, by a control system from an imaging device, imaging data of an inventory holder including at least one compartment and at least one translucent band at least partially occluding the at least one compartment;
extracting, by the control system, a representation of a single compartment from the imaging data;
segmenting, by the control system, the representation of the single compartment to generate an occupancy mask for the single compartment;
processing, by the control system, the imaging data using a monocular depth prediction model to generate a depth map associated with the inventory holder;
extracting, by the control system, a representation of the single compartment from the depth map to generate a compartment depth map;
processing, by the control system, the occupancy mask for the single compartment using at least one occupancy correction model to generate a corrected occupancy mask, the at least one occupancy correction model utilizing the compartment depth map; and
determining, by the control system, available storage space within the single compartment of the inventory holder based at least in part on the corrected occupancy mask.
