Downloading and using LabelImg

Using screenshot loop to capture screen images for training model

if you need to capture images of the screen for the training model, open and run the script screenshot_loop.py

Make sure to change the settings to suit your needs:

monitor = {"top": 40, "left": 0, "width": 800, "height": 640} # adjust to align with your monitor or screensize that you want to capture

img = 0 # used to determine a count of the images; if starting the loop again make sure to change this number greater than the last saved image e.g below img = 10

mob = 'cow' # change to the name of the object/mob to detect and train for.

Run the script, images will be saved under datasets/osrs
