Vision: How to get all edge points coordinatioin

[pkr_111]

Hi,

I tried to get all egde points of a ROI of a object with labview vision module. I used "IMAQ Find Edge VI" but it only return the coordination of  the start and the end point.

In addition, I used "IMAQ Rake 3 VI", it can get all edge points(from search lines terminal). However, it can not show these resulted points on the image, so I cannot easily confirm the edge points right or not. 

Could someone can help me about the issue: how to get all edge points coordination and show them on the image.  Thinks.

I found that the process could solve my issue: "Rake 3 vi (find first edges)" and "overlay points (show results)".

However, it seems too a little complex. Are there simple methods to achieve the same results? Could "IMAQ Find Edge" show all the edges?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the Examples that come with LabVIEW?  In particular, have you looked at the Magic Wand example?  Note that it produces an ROI whose edge is a curve around the selected object.  You could, of course, implement this algorithm yourself, but I suspect NI's implementation is likely to be much faster ...

Hi Bob. Thanks for your reply.

The "magicwand" indeed can find the edges.

In my case, I need more flexibility about the edges searching condition.(sorry I didn't metion above)

Although, the magicwand may achieve my demands, it still need some additional proceess.

Anyway, you provide me a new, good method. Thank you again!

Hi Palanivel,

I've already solved this issue. Thank you.

I'll be glad to post the actual code, if anyone else has meet the same problem.
