Slowness of color pattern matching vi

[Rap_Master_T]

Hi,

We're trying to implement a SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) algorithm in Labview based on kinect. In order to do so, the mapping robot should spot landmarks in real-time from the kinect image. We found the color pattern matching VI which does exactly what we need but the problem is that it's very slow (about 1.5 seconds for each image and total of 3 images each iteration). Is this the normal time for detecting landmarks in a kinect image? The robot can't map accurately when the iteration is so slow.

Thanks,

Rap Master

Given that the pattern matching VI is an IMAQ (Image Acquisition) VI, this question will be best served by posting in our Machine Vision forums.
