Pixel level fusion of image data

[D Braden]

General question to the labview community.

For a research project I am wishing to combine (fuse) together at pixel level image data from multiple sources to produce a resultant image.

Image processing may be applied to the images/pixels prior to fusion but the raw image files are stored as BMP or TIFF.

After this I intend to apply feature extraction capabability which is available within the image processing tool set.

I am using labview 6.1.

Would appreciate knowing if this has been done before in labview, if there are any examples out there to get me started  and what if any are the pitfalls of doing this in labview.

Appreciate any help

This kind of image processing has been done, at least by myself but no doubt by many other people 😉

If you have the IMAQ Vision toolkit, some example VIs are included, in LabVIEW, "Help", "Find Examples".

The vision toolkit includes functions to compute sum, difference, absloute value of difference, logical AND or OR, etc... on images.

If you have more accurate questions, feel free...

Please take a look at the VI's posted in this thread starting at 6-16-2005.

The process is simple.

Break out each of the color componenets averge the parts and put them back together.

Repeat for each pixel.
