Storing image metadata

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to save some xml metadata into TIFF images my labview program takes. Anyone know how to do that?

 

(The xml data contains the settings used by the camera to take the image. Naturally, I want to save the image and the settings into the same file.)

 

I am using labview 8.5, with the vision toolkit.  

 

Thanks,

Paul.

Hello,

 

LabVIEW does not provide a direct way to write TIFF metadata. We do provide writing of TIFF files with the IMAQ Write File VI, but this does not expose any metadata options. If this is something that you would like to be able to do in LabVIEW, it would require using one of the Windows APIs and calling that from LabVIEW. I looked into this a little bit and found this link which may be of some use if you would like to go this route.
