What "number" from the webcam?

 

What does your webcam show you?

From the webcam I want to acquire the display numbers that appear in the control system, and display only the number in labview. I have attach a picture that show the control system with red square.

I'm not sure that I (and my eye) can see/distinguish the numbers in that image!

 

Are you trying to develop this yourself?  If so, attach your code (meaning the VIs, themselves) and provide a lot more information on the camera system, your LabVIEW experience and expertise, and your efforts so far.

 

If not, then this is the wrong Forum -- if you want to hire a LabVIEW Developer to do this for you, go to the "LabVIEW Developers Seeking Employment" Forum here.

A better place to ask this question is in the Machine Vision board.

 

Sounds like you need to define a region of interest (ROI) and perform optical character recognition (OCR) on it.

 

The  vision module can do both of those things and the people who frequent that board can do a better job in describing how to set it up.

Suggestions
First need to concentrate on camera focus which needs to capture only necessary range of interest
Else you should define the range of inteterest to do OCR
abc file needs to be created with trained set of characters

So it's better to divide your work into different tasks and try to know the basic functionality for each task by which you can do by your own risk

Hello mundo_152,

 

I agree with Ravens Fan! this should go to the Machine Vision board. You should include some important informaiton about your system (For the New Post only😞

 

  1. Camera characteristics (e.g Resolution, Sensor Type, Frame Rate, etc)
  2. Distance between the camera and the object.
  3. Size of minimum detail that you want to calculate (Is important for the FOV Calculation).
  4. Light conditions.

For the time being you should refer to this simple example of OCR: http://www.ni.com/example/30591/en/

 

Regards,

Randy @Rscd27@
