NI Vision Template Editor

[cmachnowski]

I have an application that is using geometric pattern matching. (Not very well). I have recently come across the NI vision Template editor. I like the way it works and would like to use it or a facsimile of it in my application. I need to be able to use it without operator control just program control. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction.

Hello cmachnowski,

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to improve the reliability of you pattern matching application or are you trying to include the Template Editor in your application?

You can call the template editor executable from you application and pass command line arguments to specify the template image, what type of template to learn etc.

The online help describes the syntax to use. Open the online help and select the Contents item "Using Command Line Arguments with the NI Vision Template Editor".

If your application is a LabVIEW application, you can call executable using the "System Exec.vi" located in the Connectivity>>Libraries and Executables palette.

Hope this helps.

I am trying to improve the pattern matching in my application.  I like the template editor for the fact that i can see what patterns it is finding in my picture.

When i use the pattern matching vi's i can not see what it finding and how to impriove it.

Since NI already has this editor it would be nice to use it in my application.  However i need to have less operator interaction and more program controlled

capabilities.

if only there was a way to use the current vi's to make a similar application so that i could use in my application.

Thanks
