Scratch Vision Game - Technical Documentation

Overview

The Scratch Vision Game is an AI-powered system that converts visual Scratch programming blocks from images/PDFs into functional Scratch 3.0 projects (.sb3 files). The system uses computer vision, OCR, and large language models to analyze, interpret, and reconstruct Scratch programs from visual inputs.

System Architecture

Core Components

1. Image Processing Pipeline (app.py)

   • PDF extraction and image preprocessing
   • Multi-modal image enhancement using OpenCV
   • OCR text extraction with Tesseract
   • Visual similarity matching using multiple algorithms

2. Block Recognition System (utils/block_relation_builder.py)

   • Scratch block catalog management
   • Pseudocode to JSON conversion
   • Block relationship building and validation
   • Project structure generation

3. AI Processing Layer

   • LLM-based code interpretation using Groq/LLaMA
   • Multi-modal vision models for image captioning

Key Processing Functions

Input Processing:

• extract_images_from_pdf() - Extracts images from PDF using unstructured library
• process_image_cv2_from_pil() - Enhances images using OpenCV (upscaling, denoising, sharpening)

2. Visual Similarity Matching

Query Image → Multi-Algorithm Matching → Asset Selection → Project Assembly

Algorithms Used:

• DINOv2 Embeddings: Deep learning-based semantic similarity
• Perceptual Hashing (PHash): Structural image comparison
• Image Signatures: Goldberg algorithm for visual fingerprinting

Implementation:

def run_query_search_flow(query_b64, embeddings_dict, hash_dict, signature_obj_map):
    # 1. Preprocess query image
    enhanced_query_pil = process_image_cv2_from_pil(query_from_b64, scale=2)

    # 2. Generate embeddings
    query_emb = get_dinov2_embedding_from_pil(prepped)
    query_phash = phash.encode_image(image_array=query_hash_arr)
    query_sig = gis.generate_signature(query_sig_path)

    # 3. Compute similarities
    emb_sim = cosine_similarity(query_emb, stored_emb)
    ph_sim = 1.0 - (hamming_distance / MAX_PHASH_BITS)
    im_sim = 1.0 - gis.normalized_distance(stored_sig, query_sig)

    # 4. Combine scores
    combined = (emb_clamped + ph_sim + im_sim) / 3.0

3. Code Block Recognition

OCR Text → LLM Processing → Pseudocode → Block Mapping → JSON Generation

LLM System Prompt:

SYSTEM_PROMPT = """Your task is to process OCR-extracted text from images of Scratch 3.0 code blocks and produce precisely formatted pseudocode JSON.

### Core Role
- Treat this as an OCR refinement task: the input may contain typos or spacing issues.
- Intelligently correct OCR mistakes to align with valid Scratch 3.0 block syntax.

### Universal Rules
1. Code Detection: If no Scratch blocks are detected, the `pseudocode` value must be "No Code-blocks".
2. Script Ownership: Determine the target from "Script for:". If it matches a `Stage_costumes` name, set `name_variable` to "Stage".
3. Pseudocode Structure: The pseudocode must be a single JSON string with `\n` for newlines.
"""

4. Project Generation

Pseudocode → Block Definitions → Relationship Building → .sb3 Assembly

dinov2_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(DINOV2_MODEL)
dinov2_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(DINOV2_MODEL)

)

Technical Approaches

1. Multi-Modal Image Enhancement

OpenCV Pipeline:

def process_image_cv2_from_pil(pil_img, scale=2):
    bgr = pil_to_bgr_np(pil_img)
    bgr = upscale_image_cv(bgr, scale=scale)  # Cubic interpolation
    bgr = reduce_noise_cv(bgr)                # Non-local means denoising
    bgr = sharpen_cv(bgr)                     # Kernel-based sharpening
    bgr = enhance_contrast_cv(bgr)            # Contrast enhancement
    return bgr_np_to_pil(bgr)

2. Hybrid Similarity Scoring

Multi-Algorithm Consensus:

def choose_top_candidates(embedding_results, phash_results, imgmatch_results):
    # Method A: Normalized weighted average
    weighted_scores[p] = (w_emb * emb_norm[p] + w_ph * ph_norm[p] + w_im * im_norm[p])

    # Method B: Rank-sum (Borda count)
    rank_sum[p] = rank_emb[p] + rank_ph[p] + rank_im[p]

    # Method C: Harmonic mean (penalizes missing values)
    harm = 3.0 / ((1.0/a) + (1.0/b) + (1.0/c))

3. Block Relationship Building

Scratch Block Catalog System:

def generate_blocks_from_opcodes(opcode_counts, all_block_definitions):
    """
    Generates Scratch blocks with proper parent-child relationships
    - Hat blocks: topLevel=True, parent=None
    - Stack blocks: Linked via 'next' field
    - C-blocks: Contains SUBSTACK inputs
    - Shadow blocks: Linked as input values
    """

4. Project Assembly Pipeline

JSON Structure Generation:

final_project = {
    "targets": [],      # Sprites and Stage
    "monitors": [],     # Variable/list monitors
    "extensions": [],   # Scratch extensions
    "meta": {
        "semver": "3.0.0",
        "vm": "11.3.0",
        "agent": "OpenAI ScratchVision Agent"
    }
}

Performance Optimizations

1. Model Caching

• Pre-loaded models with global variables
• GPU acceleration when available
• Batch processing for multiple images

2. Image Processing

• Efficient numpy operations
• OpenCV optimizations
• Memory management for large images

3. Similarity Search

• FAISS indexing for fast nearest neighbor search
• Normalized embeddings for cosine similarity
• Parallel processing of multiple algorithms

Error Handling

1. Graceful Degradation

def process_image_cv2_from_pil(pil_img, scale=2):
    try:
        # OpenCV enhancement pipeline
        return enhanced_image
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Enhancement failed: {e}")
        return original_image  # Fallback to original

2. JSON Validation

agent_json_resolver = create_react_agent(
    model=llm,
    prompt=SYSTEM_PROMPT_JSON_CORRECTOR
)

Deployment

Docker Configuration

FROM python:3.11-slim
# System dependencies: tesseract-ocr, poppler-utils, libgl1
# Python dependencies: requirements.txt
# Environment: Flask production mode
EXPOSE 7860
CMD ["python", "app.py"]

Environment Variables

• GROQ_API_KEY: API key for Groq language model
• TRANSFORMERS_CACHE: Model cache directory
• HF_HOME: Hugging Face cache directory

Future Enhancements

1. Real-time Processing: WebSocket integration for live feedback
2. Advanced OCR: Custom trained models for Scratch block recognition
3. Multi-language Support: International Scratch block recognition
4. Collaborative Features: Multi-user project editing
5. Performance Monitoring: Detailed analytics and optimization metrics

Contributing

The system is designed with modularity in mind:

• Add new block definitions in blocks/ directory
• Extend similarity algorithms in the matching pipeline
• Enhance OCR accuracy with custom preprocessing
• Improve LLM prompts for better code interpretation
