Hi Mike,
None of my stuff is anywhere but there are plenty of github sites with
Python Object Detection engines and AI scripts. Just google for them...
Here are a few:
https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet
https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/
https://github.com/OlafenwaMoses/ImageAI
https://towardsdatascience.com/object-detection-with-less-than-10-lines-of-code-using-python-2d28eebc5b11
https://github.com/arunponnusamy/cvlib
With best regards,
Bob

Well not in claws-mail without plugins :)
A URL in the text would be more friendly :)
PS the text below seems to indicate the need for an 'invitation'. Is
that correct?

Yes, an invitation is sent out. I decided that the group's postings would
be private to members of the group only. Since security surveillance is
something better not shared with just anyone, I felt it safer for members
not to have anything about their system that they might share be easily
available to the public. I've found the "invite" method works well at
discouraging spammers. Dave H., I caused an invitation to be sent to you.
