That's a really cool idea! I'm actually exploring a similar concept right now. On the demo page, I have a "Detect Frame" button which will attempt to identify all of the cards (as well as their bounding boxes). You can hook it up to a webcam to try it out that way right from the demo page.

Today, players have to double click on a card in a webcam stream to identify the specific card, but I'm working on doing full-frame detection on some cadence throughout the course of a match (think 1 scan every 5s so you always have an up-to-date board state, remembering past scans).

What would be super-helpful is to have a few frames from the camera or a video from your intended setup so I could test how well this scenario works. The detection is pretty good overall via webcam, it would probably work even better with 12MP.

I think this would be a really cool application. If you ever want to chat about this, I'd love to talk! Feel free to hop on discord (https://discord.gg/axRtvbsfAU) or DM me! (same username on both)
