count the number of seeds using labview - new to labview

[farhan]

hello,

I am new to labview and need to create a VI to count the number of seeds being dropped.

I understand you can do this using labview.

please can someone direct me to a tutorial or an example to do this?

I use a camera - how do you connect up the camera to work with labview?

thanks

You'll have to use IMAQ vision, an addon package that brings LabVIEW a series of tools for image analysis.
There are a number of examples/solutions. Some deal already with particle counting.
Although your question is rather vague, I suppose you want to get more info tahn the mere particle number (shape, color). That's definitely possible with LabVIEW, but will require a significant investment.
There is a forum dedicated to Machine Vision where you'll get all the required help.
