To be honest, I was thinking about the very same problem, but at the side stations, not the corners. I was considering how hard it'd be to detect and discriminate those red/blue borders on those plexiglass shields that the "Specialists" get to sit behind.

I haven't played with the camera or software yet, so I'm not sure how simple or hard of a task that might be yet.
It will be difficult when you consider the partial reflection and partial transparency of the plexiglass. The border will essentially be put against a dark background. Factor in the glare, and it will be difficult.
