Thanks for posting this. Around 2 months back I was trying my hands on something alike - I think this one will help me take some steps further on it.

I was working on an ad-blocker for live TV, specially news channels. Annoyed by the amount of ad sequences they have on news channels, I wanted to build a dashboard that would show me color coded state of news channels, {green -> news content | red -> ads | yellow -> not sure}. So that I instantly know which channel to switch to.

I used pose detection as one of the heuristic to figure out if there is an anchor on the screen. Used openpose with golang, worked pretty well to start with but later felt it was bit limited. (I have no ML background)
