Thus we come to the nut of the problem. That would work if you could guarantee that only one object of the target color could ever be in the field of view of the cameras. But since there may be up to four vision tetras visible from any location, plus the potential for background items of the same color to be detected, you will need to deteremine the true correlation of the objects in the image to determine if the cameras are looking at the same target object.
