Vision Lab

Tune what the bot looks for, and save it as a detector.

A detector is the bot's eyes — a saved, pre-tuned "find this" unit. It's either a Template (match an image on screen) or OCR (read text or a number from a region). Flows and library cards reference a detector by name, so tuning it once fixes every task that uses it. The Vision Lab lives inside Studio.

The Vision Lab — the Source and Output cards, toolbar above.

1 · Load a source

Add reference screens from the Source card's + tile: Upload image(s) from disk, Capture once from a connected emulator, or Capture burst — several frames over time, for a moving or animated screen. Load more than one and the preview becomes a carousel you can page through.

2 · Crop the template

Drag a box on the Source to mark the exact thing to recognise; drag its edges or corners to resize. The Output card shows what the matcher actually sees (filters applied) with the live match boxed in green and a Result line beneath it.

3 · Tune the match

The Template button opens the settings popup: the match Threshold, Colour mode (Grayscale / Color), a stack of Preprocessing filters, a Search region to limit where it looks, and a Scale range (with Find best scale to sweep it). See results on the Output card reports the match against every loaded source — a ✓ / ✗ and a confidence per source — so you can confirm it before saving.

Reading text (OCR)

Switch the toolbar to Text (OCR). Windows' built-in OCR reads the focus region — no language packs to install. OCR settings shapes what the engine sees with a top-down Filter pipeline (Grayscale, Invert, Otsu / Adaptive threshold, Upscale and more) and a character Whitelist, then a Parse mode:

Text

Keep the text exactly as read.

Number

Keep digits only.

Number (K/M/B)

Expand game-style suffixes — 1.2M becomes 1,200,000.

Timer (minutes)

Read an HH:MM:SS countdown as whole minutes.

Save it

Save detector stores the template and its settings under a name and category — that name is what you pick inside the Task Builder and on library cards. Opened from a Monster, Champion or Recruit card, the lab adds a Use for this… button that saves and links the detector straight back to that entry.

For game numbers, a reliable recipe is Invert (if the text is light), Otsu threshold, Upscale, and a digits Whitelist. Tune against a burst of captures, not a single frame.
