first off, aug and dim are just instructions for how notes should be treated.
you'll never be 100% accurate when it comes to picking out notes and determining the scale because a lot of scales have the same combination of notes thats why songs usually stick to 1 key.
now as for picking out the interval c to d is a minor second or half step up on the staff and so forth.
are you picking out melodies/chords by ear or sheet music analysis?

major scale is whole whole half whole whole whole half

minor has a minor third scale degree

Diminished is a lower 7th

Intervals are based on the position from a root note to a different note within a scale, like scales they are diatonic. Perfect, major, and minor are the general qualities of an interval, and augmented and diminished are the specific modifications. Perfect/major/minor tells you the sequence of steps (half and whole) from the root note to the interval. (Diminished/augmented) tells you how much the actual note strays from the scale degree of the indicated quality.

Example: The 4th interval of a G Major scale would be 'C', because 'C' is the 4th scale degree in a G Major scale. This happens to be a perfect interval because of the tonal stability it provides, perfect intervals are 4th, 5th, and octave (8th). So 'C' with respect to 'G' would be P4.

Here's a convenient chart to determine the interval based of the number of half steps from root to the interval note.
Interval # of Half Steps
P1--------------------0
m2--------------------1
M2--------------------2
m3--------------------3
M3--------------------4
P4--------------------5
A4/d5-----------------6
P5--------------------7
m6--------------------8
M6--------------------9
m7--------------------10
M7--------------------11
P8--------------------12


P = perfect
m = minor
M = major
A = augmented
d = diminshed
