Vision Processing Help Needed Badly

[stormyweathers]

I am a rookie programmer on a rookie team, and have NEVER used labview before.
I have managed to run the teleop period quite decently, and the line tracking was a bit diffucult, but is functioning (mostly)
However, I am completely lost on vision tracking.
I have read the examples, but they are too complicated for me to follow.
What kind of data does the "find colored object" example output?
a modified image file?
and how can I use this processesd image file?
I figure I need to find the width and height of the distorted circle that is detected, but I have no idea how. I can work out the arithmetic to figure out the position given the image processed, but I have no idea how to turn the image into the numbers that need to be manipulated.
Also, where do I even put the code?
directly into autoind.vi? timed tasks? vision processing?
I am LOST
