Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW

[author support]

Description	Book Information
Image Acquisition and Processing With LabVIEW combines the general theory of image acquisition and processing, the underpinnings of LabVIEW and the NI Vision toolkit, examples of their applications, and real-world case studies in a clear, systematic, and richly illustrated presentation. Designed for LabVIEW programmers, it fills a significant gap in the technical literature by providing a general training manual for those new to National Instruments (NI) Vision application development and a reference for more experienced vision programmers. A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains libraries of the example images and code referenced in the text, additional technical white papers, a demonstration version of LabVIEW 6.0, and an NI IMAQ demonstration that guides you through its features. System Requirements: Using the code provided on the CD-ROM requires LabVIEW 6.1 or higher and LabVIEW Vision Toolkit 6.1 or higher. Some of the examples also require IMAQ Vision Builder 6.1 or higher, the IMAQ OCR toolkit, and IMAQ 1394 drivers.

Does anyone know of any more recent publications regarding some of the basics of image acq and processing. We are particulary looking to use simple object tracking techniques in our undergrad physics labs as both a way to learn about imaging, but also to do the 'mechanics' in ways other than timing gates etc

Leads and ideas most welcome

Hello,

We have a new set of vision based projects coming out. These projects use LabVIEW, the Vision Assistant and myRIO. The projects are application focused in that they guide students to learn about vision algorithms and use them in a system that makes decisions based upon the image processing results.

You can see a preview here: www.ni.com/myrio/vision  The full final set of labs will be uploaded by NI Week.

If you would like a to see the current draft of the labs you an email me directly at gretchen dot edelmon at ni dot com

Thank you,
