Not able to get even half-decent object recognition

[Pito Salas]

Greetings,

I am finally trying to get my Oak-D-Light to do some object detection/recognition. “All” I want to do is to detect a soda can or coffee cup or even an orange cone to be detected. So far it’s quite bad.

I have done it. Let me put together some docs and in-hide the appropriate repos. If you don’t mind detecting Coke Zero cans, you can also use my training set.
