The goal is to recognize the classic hold-up situation in which the robber
has a weapon held perpendicular to the body and the victim's arms are held
up parallel to the body. The target environment is similar to a convenience
store, with a clerk, customers, and possibly rows of shelves that could
obscure sight of some persons (blobs). The arms of the blobs, if visible,
will be found and their position with respect to the body will be calculated.
