    I’ve retired from software… process. No scrum, dds, tdd, stand ups, devops, sre, micro services, retrospectives, pre and post mortems… Instead, we just build and run software together. We do use an issue tracker and a good readme. Everyone posts an eod update to our group

    Happy to help. This is somewhat of my specialty. For a square to qualify as having an object to be identified, the said object needs to occupy at least 5.62% of the total pixels in that square. Using that heuristic in this case, you don't have to select that square.
