Current situation:
More and more image sensors do support bit depths of more than 16Bit.
Just two examples: Aptina MT9M034, Omni Vision OV10640
Currently it is not possible to handle image from those sensors within LabVIEW except as a 2D-Array / Matrix.
Using the SGL image type would be possible on the first sight but it has several disadvantages: storing of those image is not possible and a lot of image processing and calculation function do not support SGL.
Improvement:
Add support for the image types U32, I32 and RGB128. Personally I see the priority at U32 and I32 because those types are needed to handle the RAW data from the sensors.
Very important: Do not just add those types to your typedef! There must be a real support from all basic functions!! Basic functions are in my opinion / for my usage: write to file, read from file, all functions in the palettes "Vision Utilites", "Processing", "Filters", "Operators" and the functions "Histogram", "Histograph", "Line Profile", "ROI Profile", "Linear Averages" and all other statics functions.

Those sensors are color sensors, which we do have support for. Let me know if I misunderstood you, but VDM has lots of functions that work with RGB U32.
