Mix and match triggers

For some applications, such as wheel lip classification, there are up to 30 different variants, leading to 30 different trigger strings - pipelining such applications requires unique combinations of the stage 1 and stage 2 inspections, leading to 60 inspections and 60 trigger strings manually setup on the phone. This is increasingly problematic as you add more objects to the pipelined setup.


One potential alternative to this is included in the attached picture. Basically, having one part of the trigger dedicated taking the picture for pipelining, and another part of the trigger saying which objects, if found, would constitute a pass, and keeping this "pass" logic somewhat independent from the inspections so you don't need 60 inspections. This way, you just have one stage one inspection which finds a wheel, wheel lip, and running board, 3 stage 2 inspections which report which type of wheel, wheel lip, and running board were found, and the a logic check against the trigger string at the end to see if they match.
