add two .jpg files

[Anagha.G]

i want to add two jpg files at a time so that they can create a single image with both views.

one of the jpg file is transparent with an obstacle  and other is of a railway track , I want to play such type of added images one by one so that it will look like a video

i am using IMAQ ADD function to add the jpg files but it is not fruitful coz it is showing a first image at first iteration and other in second iteration

plz suggest if u knw the solution

If both images are the same depth, size etc, use 'open jpeg' VI to open the file, this outputs a cluster. Unbundle the image data from the cluster, which is simply a 1d array of bytes decribing the image as a raster. You can then perform numeric and array operations on the array to change the image before rebuilding the JPEG

attached is a VI I wrote to scan through a series of images in a folder, deleting similar images, and retaining images with significant difference. I know your requirement is different, but it shows how image data can be handled with simple numeric operations.
