Flicker of image with USB IMAQ vision

Hi everyone

I develop a detector/tracking system of simple movement using a USB WEBCAM, I calculated the difference in frame, between successive framework easily, using a business structure that exploit a while loop to store into two buffers two successive frame.

IMAQ using subtract two stored image I got the picture of the difference. On this picture, I made a cast of the image using the image cast IMAQ plug-in, and successively, I applied cascading the following modules:

1 - IMAQ BCGLookup (to improve the brightness and contrast of the image of the difference)

2 - 2 AutoBThreeshold IMAQ (to get a picture of threesholded)

3 - IMAQ GrayMorphology (to improve the form int threesholded image object)

4. and finally IMAQ number of objects 2 (to count and track objects in the scene)

The result is almost good (isn't a movement tracker real but it is sufficient for my purpose).

Now my problem is related to the image of twinkling of effect on the area of display image, making it impossible to see the result of the image on the front panel. A highlight on the block diagram allows to obtain a more stable image (even though highlighted after the application of the IMAQ count objects flickers however). The effect of scrapie is absent in a simple vi published to view the source of the webcam.

Now what should I do to remove this effect? Is a system or a problem related to the sampling problem video webcam (I use a webcam low cost with a resolution of 640 x 480 15 fps)?

I have already read messages from the other person, in this forum about this problem, but my case is slightly different.

to overcome the lack of understanding of my explanation, I enclose a diagram view that I realized.

Thanks in advance for any answer you can give me on this problem.

  • several webcams in for usb or imaq vision Builder

    Hello

    I have a question about imaq nor for usb or vision builder AI 3.6 (I did a vi with imaq and I run in the constructor of the vision) and I want to know how can I connect multiple webcams to the computer, and how many of them can be connected. can they all be of a make and model and can they be executed with a driver installed on the computer?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In general NOR-IMAQ for USB can support only one camera at a time. You can acquire multiple cameras (not simultaneously) using USB IMAQ list VI cameras to identify each device plugged into your system and access it via the other IMAQ live to USB.

    I would also like to point out that Vision Builder AI does not support the NO-IMAQ for cameras USB driver. It is designed to solve machine vision applications, but USB cameras provide in general or advanced necessary for machine vision triggering modes.  Because the machine vision and USB cameras will usually together, we do support USB cameras in Vision Builder AI.

  • How can I import an image with transparent background .png in the Vision Assistant?

    Hello

    I am using the Vision Assistant of NOR. Here, I want to overlay one existing image with another. Therefore, I use the overlay Installer where can I import a .png image. If I do, I don't get

    the transparent background of the back of the image, even, I was saved with a transparent background. The image is displayed with an orange background.

    If I import the same image to any front panel for example, I see the picture on the right path with a transparent background. What I've done wrong? I have attached the image I want to use.

    Thank you

    Hello! Don't know how to do this in the Vision Assistant. Try to use the overlay (bitmap) or convert your image into mask. Effect of transparency not supported in the Vision. What you can do in LabVIEW is something like this:

  • IMAQ Vision Image structure

    I currently grabbing an image, using my own equipment and windows messaging and do it in memory as a bitmap image.  How to copy this image in a structure Image IMAQ Vision.  I see other threads that the structure is the owner, but is it possible to copy the raw data in the structure of the Image.  The only way I can achieve this is to write in a BMP file, and then use the () imaqReadFile to read back in. It takes a lot of time, it would be much faster if I could copy from one location to another.

    You can use imaqArrayToImage(), but I've always found this difficult to use function.

    my favorite way is to create a new image of the right size using imaqCreateImage(), then get a pointer to the first pixel using imaqGetImageInfo() and fill pixels directly by copying the data in the buffer of the image. I already showed how to access pixels directly on this forum. You should pay attention to the size of your pixels and the format of the image (RGB, grey levels).

    Confirmation: Your product-1074395993 code error code when executing "IMAQ ReadFile" during the reading of this png. I don't know what could be the problem with this PNG. To work around the problem, you can use 'Read the PNG file' of the 'Graphics Formats VIs"which doesn't have this problem.

  • Check the development of an Image with Standard of LABVIEW functions

    Hello

    I want to determine the best quality of the development of a series of color images using features standard LABVIEW, an example my images would be KING of coins in copper or similar sample 2 mm x 1 mm. I do not have the Toolbox IMAQ vision, so this will not be an option. Could someone give me an example of this or point me in the direction I must go. Is it better to check the quality of the focus on the image of color or black and white image or perhaps a representation of the intensity of the image? I heard that the gap checking type of a line of pixels in the image would give a good indication of the quality of the development by seeking the higher SD all images?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Convert the image into an array to IMAQ ImageToArray.

    Extract a single line or row of the table by using the table to Index.  Assuming that your image be U8, these will be U8 values.

    Digital conversion to Double can convert the array of double values.

    Use Rotate 1-d array with an offset of 1 to turn the table.

    Subtract the table of rotation of the rotation matrix.

    Deletion of the table to delete the first element of the array.  It's the difference between the first and last items, which is not desired.

    Absolute value to convert the table of all positive values.

    Use the mean or the standard deviation to measure the development.  I usually have better results with the standard deviation, but sometimes means gives good results also.

    The help says "If you read a non-standard file format, you must set the size of the Image to match the contents of the file before using IMAQ ReadFile".

    Use IMAQ SetImageSize to set the size of 3888 x 3072 and it works.

  • How to download imaq vision

    I am a new user of labview and I wish to study this subject IMAQ vision. However, for the same thing, I have no idea as to how I can use it on LabView. Smoker I don't understand if I have to download additional software for IMAQ Vision work with LabView. Kindly advice me.

    Jean-Luc

    NOR-Vision and NOR-IMAQ are two different things. NOR-IMAQ is a set of drivers and software to acquire, view and save images of some devices. The supported devices are in the readme file. This software is free. NEITHER Vision is a software level. He did work with a wider variety of devices. It is not free.

    I think that it is best to call your local sales office OR that they would be better suited to help you, rather than this forum. We mainly answer technical questions here.

  • Lost file "IMAQ Vision example Folder.vi"

    Hello world

    I was working with this file and I lost it. Now, I could not find or fix also I re - install all the modules of the vision, and many examples use this file to take the path of the image to work. Someone can help me trying to find the path and bring me the IMAQ Vision example Folder.vi

    Thank you for your cooperation,

    John

    Hi, thanks for your response, I did it and I don't know why, but did not work. I solve the problem using the IMAQ Vision AVI Folder.vi and change the block diagram and removal of some parts and then rename it as the vi that I lost. In this way, I solved the problem.

  • bug in several functions of IMAQ vision mask

    Some functions IMAQ Vision bad work if you use the image source as the mask. I keep running into this bug in IMAQ Vision, Vision functions exhibit this behavior, and others do not. It is not documented in job descriptions. Even if it were, it would still be a bug. Example:

    1. create an image source U8 containing zeros and nonzero values.

    2. son of the image in the entry source and IMAQ mask entry quantify and return the value of % of the global report to see what percentage of pixels are different from zero.

    The answer is wrong. If you copy the image in a separate image first and distinct picture of wire in the input mask, you get the right answer. See attached VI for building

    See you soon,.

    -root

    If someone knows a way to return the number of pixels not dummies in an image without duplicating the image in memory, please post the method here so I can mark it as a solution. I find that using IMAQ getpixelvalue in a double loop is extremely slow, even with a shift as a counter register.

    Using the histogram IMAQ VI seems to work (with no mask image)-the first index of the returned histogram array is the number of zero pixel, so the sum of the table no less (or less area this) is the number of pixels non-null.  The VI has the same bug with the image of the mask (and I agree with you that document a bug does not correct!) but at least you can use for this problem.
