Hi,
I am using Imaq vision in LabVIEW. Anyway there is a VI (function) called Get Calibration Info, gives the all calibration information in the image. It also gives out the error map if it is learned by "LearnCalibration". I have tried in the example program, it gives a 2D array of -1 values filled. I am not sure what it means though.
Thanks,

Hey Steverino and Logic,
To answer these questions, I would recommend that you read Chapter 3 in the IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual. You can find the IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual in the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Vision, or at the following link: IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual.
Chapter 3 in the IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual deals with the System Setup and Calibration. It goes into in depth discussion about the error map and what it means. It also discusses the quality score and what it represents. I will still answer your questions here:
“What is the error map?”
An error map returns an estimate of the worst case error when a pixel coordinate is transformed into a real-world coordinate. The quality score and error map outputs of the calibration function indicate how well your system is calibrated. The error map is an estimate of the positional error that you can expect when you convert a pixel coordinate into a real-world coordinate. The error map is a 2D array that contains the expected positional error for each pixel in the image.
“Can it be accessed?”
In VB you will want to use CWIMAQCalibrationReport to access the error map. In LabVIEW, use the Get Calibration Info VI as Logic suggested.
I hope that the IMAQ Vision Concepts Manual answers most of your questions. If you have any further questions, or if this post didn't answer your questions, please let me know. Thanks, and have a great day.
Regards,
DJ L.

Thanks,Evan
I am still trying to solve the same error.
