continuous path generation from set of coordinates

[K_seeker]

Hello All,

In my recent Vision analysis application I get a set of xy coordinates from edge detection VIs provided in NI IMAQ. I need to process these coordinates (approximately 150 to 250 points) and come up with a continuous path connecting all these points with only lines and Arcs. Is any one out here aware of any 3rd party tool that will help me accomplish this task? I do not believe LV has any tool that will work for this. Please send me a link etc.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think that the calliper tool that you can find on Vision Assistant does what you need.

Hope this helps,
Paulo

Thanks. But I need the information converted into Line and Arc definations that are continous.

Hi,

LabVIEW has several curve fitting options. The type of curve fitting available includes linear, exponential, polynomial, Levenberg Marquardt, and Nonlinear Levenberg Marquardt. To use these functions, you must know what type of fit will be best for your set of points, but once this is known, you will be able to create an equation of best fit.
