I think OCR is the right term.

[codeiff (image of bunny) appears on screen:
print("Image of bunny seen.")
else:
print("image of bunny not seen.")[/code]

I used to run a program over on windows that would do this, but I can't get it to work on linux.

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, It's generally used to convert a scanned document into an editable text form for your word processor/ text editor. Is that your intent?

No, I used to work with Sikuli and Selenium.
You take a screenshot, you crop it.
If that image is seen do X.
If it's not seen do Y.

... it's not at all apparent what it has to do with OCR software.
