convert from RGB to CIE l*a*b

[mozahemmohamad]

hello..

i tried to convert my image acquired from camera from RGB to CIE l*a*b. to use in fire detection usiong image processing.

can anyone help me please

Hi mozahem,

the German Wikipedia provides some easy math for sRGB-to-CIELab conversion.

The English Wikipedia provides some facts about RGB to CIELab conversion.

I guess you are able to read Wikipedia a your own. Do you have problems setting up those simple formulas in LabVIEW?

you probably want to identify color differences using L*a*b* coordinates

as Gerd pointed out, in terms of the mathematics, this is an easy transformation (which is applied on each RGB pixel separately)

to give you an idea,

in this example there is a RGB to Ycbcr subvi:

thank you. i have a project to detect fire using image processing in labview. i read many articles and the first step is to convert camera image from RGB to CIE l*a*b. i try equations for each pixel in image but its very slow and the camera is slow. and after converting image i will calculate L*m and A*m and B*m....

thank you. i try this. i convert image into array of values then calculate for each pixel. but for camera image it being very slow

When you think there are problems within your VI then you should attach that VI!

LabVIEW can work polymorphic, so probably you don't need to calculate an equation for each pixel (as can be seen in the image in Alex' message)!

how many camera images (frames per second) do yo want to process?

what size does one camera image have?

[mozahemmohamad]

30 fps. the camera is always active and the image is processing using labview for fire detection.
