create golden template

[Alan@pworx]

Has anyone found the correct method of creating a golden template from a new image? There are no examples. How do you prepare an 8-bit image with layers of value 0,1,2? It's not very clear.

There is a good example of using golden template VIs here. Does this help for your project?

Hi Andrew

That example only calls an existing golden template -I would like to find out how to create that template programmatically.

[Andy-C]

Golden templates are created using the Template Editor utility which is installed with the Vision Development Module. This utility should be located in your Start Menu under National Instruments»Vision»Utilities. Have you tried creating a template here to use with the Golden Template VIs?

It's quite straight -forward using the template editor, but how do you perform the same task programmatically?

Use the Learn Golden Template vi that is in the Vison>machine vision>inspection library.

You might need to pattern match before you use your golden template, you can use both the learn pattern match vi and the learn golden template vis on the same image, and then save one master template.

See below for a tester VI that I had laying around, its not specifically written to answer your question, so has a few extra bits in there too.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Phil. Do you have a copy that is compatible with LabVIEW 2011?

There you go:

Thanks Phil -looks like what I was looking for -I'll try it out & let you know.

Thanks Phil -I tested your vi and it works perfectly.
