8 weeks for beginner to make Image categorization software

Hello everyone,

I am a novice with Python, Im a junior in college and one of my professors offered me a summer research job where he wants me to make a ML model that takes in pictures of zoomed in ice. It will count the number of ice crystals, their size, and color. Basically going to be a picture of a bunch of hexagons of different sizes and colors. The model will count how many hexagons, count how many are in a size range, and their color. I want to do it but like I said I’m a novice with python. How feasible is it for me to learn how to do this and do it in about 8 weeks.

I figured im going to have to spend some time marking hundreds of images, and also programming this thing.
