After many weeks of trying to get Microsoft's MegaDetector to function on the OAK-D-Lite, I have switched to using OpenVINO's SSDLite Mobilenet V2 blob. During testing, It did not consistently identify animals with their correct label but it did identify them as animals. This isn't ideal but it will work as a proof of concept.

Converting OpenVINO's intermediary format to a blob was a breeze. I was able to do it without any issue using the Luxonis MyriadX Blob converter. I also tested converting the intermediary files using the BlobConverter command line interface and it worked just as well.

I'm excited to see some real progress after feeling stagnated for so long.
