Advice from other projects

Maybe update the readme with a few links?

A few folks have simplified opencv, and such, updated learning models, etc. If it's dead for now (your work) a few refs might help others.

Jeff feeling does opencv on rpi4, and hits the 2fps barrier, but makes leaf lower + facial detection

Or go nuts with an external tpu unit on the USB, and tensorflow it up from there

(Which honestly if you can crank out good c++, and have $60 to spare for the unit, seems best. Again, sample size data set/pickle is essential)

Hope this helps someone who stumbles here! :)
