Blackjack "X-ray" Vision

After more testing of the technology, we've come to the following conclusions:
 
1. The technology has no problem seeing through a single card that is face down on the table.
 
2. It is also easy enough to see-through multiple cards stacked that are about to be dealt.
 
The difficulty is the image recognition software that determines what the next card is may not be able to reliably determine which card is on top of which. To understand what I mean, consider multiple cards stacked on top of each other but are transparent. This is what the equipment sees.
 
It is difficult enough for a human to determine which card is on top, and even more difficult for image recognition software.
 
From this point, I will finish development of the Hybrid V3 roulette computer, then I will have more time to develop this technology.
