hi guys, im new to this forum. i have an assignment on one of my classes. i need to "make" a musical instrument with a phone. I was thinking of making something like this:

there is a musical staff on a wall (or a board). then, the user can stick musical notes on that staff and point their phone camera to that wall. then the phone detects the musical notes (that could be crotchet or a half note, even a G cleff) and plays that succession of notes as sounds. the musical notes will have the same size and color because they will not be drawn, we will make them out of paper or cardboard.

my concern is if it's possible to detect several custom known shapes (in this case a bunch of musical notes), and their positioning regarding another one (in this case the lines on the staff, or the staff itself) using openCv;

maybe you could point me the direction on what to look for in google to get me started on this matter. i have 2 and a half months to do this project ( if it's relevant for you to know this ), so i would appreciate any help. thank you in advance.
