🔍 Computer Vision Hybrid Approach

Dual-Rendering + Deterministic CV Methodology

The system uses a breakthrough hybrid approach combining:

  1. Dual-Rendering from After Effects:
  2. Normal render for final output
  3. Color-coded render for automatic ground truth
  4. Deterministic Computer Vision: Classical methods without heavy deep learning
  5. Pattern Extraction: For WFC (Wave Function Collapse) system feeding

Color Encoding System

COLOR_ENCODING = {
    (255, 0, 0):     "texto_principal",      # Red
    (0, 255, 0):     "cta_button",           # Green  
    (0, 0, 255):     "logo",                 # Blue
    (255, 255, 0):   "texto_secundario",     # Yellow
    (255, 0, 255):   "decoracion",           # Magenta
