Great video, love to see more like this. Automating games like this is an amazing way to introduce people to OpenCV, it's simple to explain but teaches you important skills applicable to a much wider range of tasks. I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon your channel, your videos don't get nearly as many views as it deserves for such high quality educational content.
i bascily became a programmer by starting to atuomate games. learned many skills from basic programming to ocr to stock market theroies to reinforcement learning while doing that.
To circumvent the missed image detection from a day/night cycle, you can add a desaturation to both your sample and comparison images to grayscale them before comparison. This usually works for pixel-based art styles, as day/night is usually just an added color filter over the original image. The exception being those games that use specular or bloom lighting effects, which can distort the end-result grayscale in the image. The trade off, however, is that the added step of desaturating the sample image on each frame will slow down the script a bit. EDIT: This method also wouldn't work in games that reuse sprites with different color palettes, for obvious reasons.
Differentiate objects by color is a cost effective way of expanding the object types in game. Red goblins are fire goblins. Blue goblins are ice goblins. If you want to use flame thrower on red goblins, and water gun on blue goblins, you need to be able to determine type you're identifying. That's the issue discussed above.
15:15 A more efficient solution here would be to just check for rectangles with intersecting regions. Not sure about python but in c# this is very simple with the Rect.IntersectsWith method (you can also just do it manually, the math is easy). Then you can combine them by inflating one rect with the difference from the other. Also for more reliable matching, there are various imaging algorithms you can use, for my OCR projects I do: grayscale > scaling > binarization > inversion > denoise > bordering, this helps a lot for matching foreground objects over varying backgrounds. You can also start with colour averaging which can make scanning for objects significantly faster at higher resolutions because you can scan chunks of the image and skip processing any that aren't similar. I've used these methods for overlaying real-time translation of text in non-english games.
You could have also done the grouping by comparing the distances of all rectangle centroids which would essentially create a node graph with every center connected to everyother center and then combining all nodes whose distance is below some threshold distance. Your solution works, I just think it’s good practice to use more general algorithms.
Amazing work! Thank you so much for sharing this! I would love to see a video on how to implement convolutional neural networks to do object recognition.
Thanks I work really hard on trying to figure out the best pace to keep people engaged and still not skip topics. I will continue to try and improve. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Can you make that tutorial?
Hi brother is it possible for you to make a chess bot with opencv as u make for other games or for knife hit game if yes please make a video on it .It will be really helpful .
Ah thank you so much, i was looking for a tutorial like this for a very long time :) I did something similiar in auto it just for fun, but I always wanted do something like that in a "real" programming language with more powerful libraries. Thank you so much =) I only need to learn how to use it in 3d games /video capturing. But it is just fine to learn right from the start :)
I love to see you doing these videos! I’d like to see one that is based on real pictures, like “is the car pointed left or right” etc and incorporate some training and AI
imshow,imread,and al the rest of the stuff that comes after cv2. isnt working . it says __init__.py isnt found .i reinstalled is 5 times but still nothing
Your score has been topped! No template matching was needed since the game uses the exact same pixels in the same locations but still great to know that functionality exists within OpenCV. keep on keepin on.
I love this video and the idea, I don't know anything about coding but if you would every take a look at the game called "Parking master multiplayer 2" (the game requires a lot of repetition plays in order to have money, I would love to see you make a video about that game of how you would set up for it to auto drive the car into the parking spot!!
How to take screenshot and use it as a variable instead of writing it to file and reading it from the file. The issue I have is that first, I'm afraid that my harddrive age won't last that long with this method and second, it is faster
Check out the code on the github for kick ya chop. I do exactly that! github.com/ClarityCoders/ComputerVision-OpenCV/blob/master/Lesson3-TemplateMatching/PlayGame.py
Could this tecnique work to detect parts of a document (for example a rectangle with a text) in order to read what's inside that section of the document? It would be a scanned document so it could arrive with horizontal lines not perfectly aligned due the subtle movements of the paper durinig the passage under the scanner.
I think you can make it much easier. OpenCV can detect rectangles in image. Next, it can detect text (OCR) within those rectangles. If rectangles are not perfectly aligned you can fix perspective of those rects in openCV too.
Thank you very much my friend, first of all, I follow the wheat finding code exactly and it doesn't work. Can you send it as a working project rather than a tutorial?
You can also find the wheat points without overlaps by running a local maxima filter on the grayscale image- accomplished in OpenCV with a dilate filter followed by a compare filter. You might not need it for this use-case, but you can also additionally filter out plateaus of local maximum value with an erode and a compare (if you want to know what to compare against what, for the sake of brevity here either google it or just try a few combinations; heck, you don’t need Jupyter to figure out the correct operations; you can prototype this kind of stuff with Photoshop/Gimp layers easily). I like image-processing solutions like this because 1. For an end-use you can more easily run the whole thing on a GPU where operations over a whole image are cheap and reducing that an array of numerical results is the expensive part, and 2. You can visually see and tune/debug the dilated image, the dilated-compared image, the dilated-compared-eroded image, and the dilated-compared-eroded-compared image.
Teacher, first congratulations for the channel. I need your help, I have a simple image with a range of 5 placements where the quantity is identified, how do I identify the biggest color type red and say where the X,Y is, and if you can help me, and only for create an alert.
Nice; Solid introductory video! I enjoyed watching. Wish there was a fast & efficient template matching method that worked with a high dimensional image space. I imagine the game you tested in the vid was only 800x600 or something lol. When working with large images I usually have to search a small section or it will take too long to compute.
For sure I almost always cut down the area where I'm taking the screen shots. Especially if it's a real time thing where time matters. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.
Hi i am beginner, i am preparing script for a similar game but the question is can i run script like this for multiple game windows lets say arranged in 3x3 matirx (just like tic tac toe) on desktop and would it work or do i need to implement something more?
Это работает для статики. Тут зерно имеет конкретные цвета и никак не меняется. Я пробовал этот метод и он не работает для динамических картинок. Например, на экране идет снег, и снежинки закрывают объект, задний фон объекта меняется.
I think you can compare transparent images BUT you have to make sure both your needle image and haystack image have 4 dimensions. 1 for the alpha channel.
@@ClarityCoders thanks for your answer yea so i cant just simple crop image and compare. Because capture image do not have alpha information. Is there any method to do this ?
how would this work in a 3d setting, like if objects are different sizes? can it be modified for that? it would seem to be expensive to check for many different sizes so im not sure that approach would work.
@TridentflayerThe other thing you can attempt to do is vectorize your code very heavily so that you can do all of your calculations in numpy operations. Speaking from miserable experience, that can be far harder than just biting the bullet and doing it in c++
Oh, this might solve a problem I have. There’s some made up alphabet which looks like it was made with a fixed typeface, and I want to transcribe the text in the images into actual text in order to try to decipher it, and I think I know how to extract the characters, but I still need to find how to detect which character they are. I can’t use standard OCR because these are a made up alphabet in an Easter egg for a game.
For the multiple boxes issue, could you lower the threshold till at least 2 boxes appear around the wheat, then remove any 1 box items which should be anything that isn't wheat, and continue from there?
Yeah I would be very careful with games that you actually like or are playing on your real account. I am doing this on silly flash games and don't really care about the ban hammer.
Amazing tutorial although I do have some ideas to improve some of what was presented, Firstly the rectangles grouping section, I'm sure there's a better way than just duplicating the list, maybe manually comparing the x, y of rectangles and if they are similar to another rectangle we don't use it The other point would be about beating the highscore, i would test for a single pixel's color above the player on each side where the background is static and check if it's color changes (a branch is above) and move accordingly
about kick ya chop, u dont have to use entire detection system as u did with opencv, wastefull, slow. u can avchieve same result by just sticking to 1 backround pixel with 2 lines of code at max
This is a great tutorial - thanks! Could you also do one explaining the kick ya chop script you have in your git hub? Also I tried to use the kick ya chop script but had to increase the sleep time to around 0.2 otherwise it wouldn't work. This is even after I tried reducing the region to search in. What gives? Do I need a faster computer or something?
