Labview should create a photometric stereo algorithm to combine images taken with segmented lights.

CCS and Smart Vision Lights are examples of manufacturers that have these lights.

Hi there!

 

I wanted to propose a new tool to draw a ROI in the Vision Development Module and in the VBAI: maybe using the spline, the ROI will be more accurate for some particular inspections.

 

Tank you so much,

bye!

Supporting only binary images as input type for the particle analysis is reducing the use cases where this functionality can be used. In many segemtation methods, e.g. superpixel segmentation or watershed segementation, the segmentation result is a labeled image. Being able to perform particle analysis on labeled images would enhance the modularity of this function. Since the particle analysis in internally performing probably a labeling anyway, and in many cases, the label of an object which is to be analysed is known too, it could also reduce the computational cost of this function.

It would be nice and useful to have support for MAC Operating Systems for the Vision software (VAS, VBAI, VDE). 

 

I've seen that Vision is used commonly in academia, where many students have MAC computers. 

It would be nice if NI can provide Reset to default Values for settings in Vision assistant for many functions for e.g., Shape Detection etc. Currently either the developer should be getting default values from context help or delete the fuction and add it again.

Currently IMAQ Is Vision Info Present / Remove Vision Info 2 VIs only accept all or single specific type of Vision Info.

It would be useful to check for and remove multiple types of Vision Info in an image at once (e.g. all grayscale template info) and these VIs actually already support this, but for some reason the functionality is not exposed:

Please consider this improvement while fixing a related bug.

Lines at quadrant angles are smooth. But lines with different angles are jagged. It would be better if the rough edges are smoothed.

Hi, I hope NI can put an indicator for the "IMAQ setup match pattern" VI to control the iteration times or total runtime. In my project, I can only afford a certain length of time for searching for the pattern. After that time period, I need to stop the  "IMAQ setup match pattern" VI and return "null".

 

Please add this function to the VI in the next version. Thank you very much!

It would be a useful feature addition to Vision software to add functionality to report coordinates of an object in a new coordinate system. A main use case would be if you needed your region of interest to be based off of one coordinate system, but once your object was located, you wanted to report the location based on a different coordinate system. Building in this functionality would eliminate the need to configure calculator steps to translate/rotate the coordinates.

MAX will list all of the Cameras that are attached to the PC, along with attached DAQmx Devices, VISA Devices, and other Devices.  There is a very useful DAQmx System property node that returns an I/O reference to all the DAQmx Devices, allowing the user (me) to "find the USB-6002 with serial number 12345 that I so carefully calibrated and am using in my Test".  I'd like to be able to do the same thing for Cameras -- I have multiple cameras visible in MAX, but I want my code to use a particular Camera and would like to programmatically "discover" it by enumerating the Cameras and getting relevant properties (Name, Serial Number, other ID information, potentially IMAQdx parameters) to find the Camera I want to use.

I'd like to be able to import a DXF file and display it as an overlay on an image.

Using the image operators ADD or MAX or AVERAGE, even if both the images in the VI are calibrated, the output image is no longer calibrated.

 

To get around this, I have to separately copy the calibration to the output image. This is not possible from Vision Assistant (within VBAI) so I have to instead use a Run Labview VI step to re-calibrate the image. The same is also true for these VIs in Labview VDM, so I am posting this on both forums.

I want to view the camera image collected through the capture board through LabView.
The camera I'm using is a Fluke IR camera, and it doesn't support connection the same way as a regular camera. That's why I'm trying to do the display through the capture board.
When searching for previous experiences in the community, there were cases where VMS (Video Measurement Suite or Video master) solved this problem, but I couldn't find VMS.
This seems to be an unsupported feature already, is there any other way?

either in Image Information, image overlay text, or any other indication can be useful especially when dealing with a lot of images or/and processes using the same control

this can help in progressive tracking between image processes during troubleshooting

hope to see the option for Overlay ROI upgrade with options for:

  • operation (merge): merge / union
  • inverse? (F): positive / negative overlay
  • drawing mode (frame): frame / fill / highlight

this can help to show which regions is going to be processed or already processed. perhaps can complement Overlay Rectangle?

hope to see the option for overlay image as an alternative to IMAQ Overlay Bitmap, with terminals for:

  • origin
  • origin type (center): upper left / center
  • offset
  • rotation
  • scale

 

Hi,

Say, I am going to build a system and control it using labview through DAQ.

For example, the system has stepper motors to move a heating chamber back and forth, a temperature monitoring system, a pressure controlling gauge etc.

Now, before diving into building the actual system, Is it possible to make a simulation of the whole device and integrate the necessary LV coding, where I can show on screen how the LV program controls the different parts of the system?

 

Thanks.

It can be improved in two ways:

 

1) It should work in radial direction with gap parameter in order to better apply different scenarios. Similar to Find Circular Edge function, but the aim is search for defects rather than a diameter. So, it could be implemented in the Annulus Tool of Find Edge function.

2) Many annulus should be added like a combination of image 1 and 2, with two gap parameters.

 

Current workaround is using a polygon tool, which is very time consuming and not fully functional.

It would be nice to be able to get multiple circles out of IMAQ Find Circular Edge. For example, if I was interested in the smaller circle below, I could sort the results by size.
