Test_mlt res output

[Testbild]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the "res" in the test_mlt_base.py . The result_queue is initialized withresult_queue = Queue(500), which to my understanding creates a Queue object with length 500.

Then the res = result_queue.get() is called and somehow this creates boxes and scales in the resvariable.

I do not really understand, why the res = result_queue.get() results in me having boxes and scales, that I can draw on an image. Where are the predictions generated?

I would love to hear your explanation to better understand the code. Thank you very much and best regards
