Make a panorama image from different images

[horn]

I have to take more than one image from an object, because of the size of the objects. But I like to display and save the hole image in one. I like to stitch all the signle frames to one image, but without any double image (pixel) information. Is there a function which can do it or does someone know how to make this?

Are you a labview user and what kind of image acquisition hardware are you using? May be the following link helps (http://venus.ni.com/stage/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3D91356A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52489&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_source=Internal).

I'm using Labview and IMAQ. I'm using a video camera and a standard framegrabber board.
I cann't open the link which you've send.

I attached it, now.

Thanks,
but I'm not using a NI framegrabber. And the Labview code is useless for me. Is there any other chance to get this problem solved in your opinion?

[Steffen Hoog]

One way could be your grabber manufacturer gives you a dll where you can call a function for that.
Second way: you can create a dummy image with your vision function (IMAQ Create and IMAQ SetImageSize. And copy your acquired images into your dummy image.

I'm doing it like you described it. I take different pictures and stick them together. But there will be always edge problems. For example, you try with your camera a panorama image (image with more than one image) and stick them together. There will be a part of overlapping. Now, I'm looking for a software which is finding the overlapping part and cut it away.

could you attach a sample code?

Is there any version of the concatenate images .llb for USB cameras?

or is there any possibility to make it work with an USB camera?

I would be very happy.

thank you in advance.

The ConcatenateImages.llb uses the low level IMAQ VIs.  Since there is not a USB equivalent VI, this program cannot be easily modified to work with USB cameras.  I wish I could point you to another good example, but unfortunately I do not have one.  For other possible solutions, please refer to your earlier post http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=127591&requireLogin=False.
