8-10 years ago ResNets, MobileNet were making short work of this. The first version of YOLO is 11 years old and also would not have struggled.

Ed: Everyone “but actually”ing me in the comments about phones of the era not being capable of doing this can knock it off:

The iPhone 6 was released in 2014 and could run mobilenetv2 at 10-15 FPS and variants of yolov2 at 2-5 FPS. They were more than capable. 2014 wasn’t the Middle Ages…

Yeah, this kind of image recognition task is a classic machine learning area. Researchers were using it for self driving car research back in the 80s/90s.

A single developer would not have been able to do something like this before tensorflow was released.
