I’m not super familiar with the domain or if it’s trivial or not, but many years ago I had a budding idea for a stupid AR game, where using a phone’s camera, you would view the world around and the game detect human faces real time, drawing over them and turning them into “enemies”.
Also the idea, that many have shared of using CV to detect insects (say a cockroach) and then attacking it with some sort of weapon (everyone loves lasers, but a laser strong enough to kill an insect like that seems like it would introduce significant risk of collateral, so I wonder if instead a jet of household pesticide could be used). I wondered a while back if those little hexbug toys could be used for development.

While googling that so I could provide the link, I found a household robot that's doing the same thing: https://www.theawl.com/2017/01/i-love-this-robot-that-kills-mosquitos-with-a-laser/ https://www.theawl.com/2017/01/i-love-this-robot-that-kills-... Just thought you might be interested to know your idea exists.
