How to capture image from USB camera in Labview 2010

Hey all,
I am very new to Labview but am working on a project that requires me to use a sensor to send a signal to Labview to capture an image from a USB camera and save. Then apply some image processing to do some geometric calculations. The calculation will be based on pixels so I guess the image needs to be in bitmap form. Right now I am just trying to start with the image acquisition part and was wondering if this can be done in Labview 2010. I have the vision toolbox and NXT Robotics. Are there any examples on this website that will help and do I have te proper tools to do this? Once I get the image capture/grab to work using labview, then I could work getting a sensor signal to trigger that capture and finally the processing side.
Like I said, I am very new to this so I am not sure if I need to download any particular drivers or vi's that I am missing or what those might be. Can someone provide some insight, links, or any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Hi wklove,
In order to do vision with LabVIEW you need to to have the Vision development module and have NI Vision Acquisition Software (VAS) installed. It sounds like you are missing VAS you can download it here. Once you have this installed you should be able to see your camera in Measurement and Automation (MAX). After you are able to see the camera, take a look at the NI Example Finder by going to Help » Find Examples

Get an image from USB cam without NI VIsion Acquisition

HI
I am looking for a way to capture images from USB cam without using a paid library ImaxDx for Labview.
Have you any ideas?

Hello MaxEngee
Off hand, I suppose you could run the third party capture software in the background and have a LabVIEW scan the target directy for changes/new images and import the image as necessary.
In the mean time, if you install the NI Vision Acquisition Software, you do have a 30-day trial period so perhaps you may consider exploring the environment to see if it is right for you.
NI Vision Acquisition Software 2011.09 - Windows 7 x86/XP/Vista/7 64 bit

Error retrieving newly captured image from a camera.

Hello Everyone,
I am developing a user<->digital camera interaction application and I have a
problem with accessing newly captured picture. The thing is I am trying to save
the picture directly to the hard disk(this is possible with the camera I am using).
So normally, as stated in the camera PTP specification, the process can be described
in the following steps:
1). PTP command 'capture' - is send successfully to the camera( the camera captures).
2). Event 'RequestObjectTransfer' of ObjectHandle 0x12345678 - is received from the
camera and processed by my application.
3). GetObjectInfo (of ObjectHandle (0x12345678) ) command should be send to the camera.
4). ObjectInfo - received from the camera.
5). GetObject (of ObjectHandle (0x12345678) command send to camera.
6). Object of ObjectHandle (0x12345678) received from the camera.
7). Event TransferReady.
Everything works fine until I try to ask for the object's info:
- (CFDictionaryRef*) copyObjectPropertyDictionary
OSErr err;
ICACopyObjectPropertyDictionaryPB pb = {};
NSDictionary* dict;
pb.theDict = (CFDictionaryRef *)&dict;
pb.object = 0x12345678;
err = ICACopyObjectPropertyDictionary(&pb, NULL); //(**)
if (noErr != err)
NSLog(@"Error retrieving object info!");
else
return dict; // CFDictionaryRef *
return NULL;
The call (**) in the code above results in "err == -9905(kICAInvalidObjectErr)", so can
anybody tell me where my mistake is because there is obviously one (btw I
wrote the same application for Windows and the id 0x12345678 is recognized there.)

It is an OS X application, the GUI is already done(not all of the controlls are functional,
there are really a lot of them as the camera tend to be 'semi-professional' == 'a lot of
settings'). Actually, what my application can do at this point is read/write settings
from/to the camera, can 'sense' some event notifications, can capture image when the
camera is on external mode(no memory card) and the images are processed to the
'Current User'/Pitures folder and finally can look pretty sexy
The method that gave me headaches for a week or so was the common ICADownloaFile
it was not recognized by this particular camera as was not the 'copyObjectPropertyDictionary'
posted above. Instead I wrote two PTPPassThrough methods which are now accepted by the
Cam.

Capturing data from usb webcam

I'm interested in the acquisition of footage from a usb webcam into labVIEW. I have the professional development system and downloaded NI-IMAQ which I believe i'll need from reading online material.
I don't really know where to start to link the camera with labview so any material would be a great help...
Final question, is it a big undertaking acquiring data from a video camera in labVIEW? it's just i've limited time to work on a project and want to know if it's worthwhile undertaking or if it will be very time heavy. I've a few months labVIEW development experience if that would give an indication to anyone...

Hi,
First your USB Cam needs to be DirectShow Compliant.
Then you will need NI-IMAQdx from the Vision Acquisition Software 2009 (supports LV 8.2 and higher) or higher to acquire images from USB cameras. The NI IMAQ driver is to capture images from framegrabbers, and the NI SmartCamera, not for USB. There is also a own IMAQ USB Library for the Vision Acquisition 8.6 but since you need to buy the Acquisition Software I would recommend to use 2009 or higher where we added the DirectShow Support to IMAQdx.
The Vision Acquisition Software is just for image acquisition and processing. If you want to do image processing you will need the Vision Development Module.
And when doing a search at ni.com you should find some articles, examples and tutorials too.
I can't estimate how much time you will need get that running, but you could just try to run one of the examples for IMAQdx in LabVIEW and then see how it works.

Can i use labview to capture and process images from ip cameras connected to a switch.

Hi,
i have more then one ip cameras conneted in LAN by a switch. i have a PC conneted to same switch. is it possible to capture images from these ip cameras and process them(for example performing simple barcode scan or QR-code scan or OCR)? Which IP cameras will be supported?

There is functionally no difference whether the camera is connected directly to the system or via a switch. Both should work the same. The only real requirement that you'd need to care about is whether the switch can pass multicast UDP traffic correctly (this is used for network discovery of IP cameras). Generally all unmanaged switches (probably what you are using) will treat multicast traffic identical to broadcast traffic, but some managed switches/routers may need to be configured to pass multicast.

Capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically.

Hello Everyone,
My requirement is to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically. No manual uploading will take place.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically automatically upload images to SharePoint library.
You will save images in your local computer after capturing visitors’ image. You could develop a custom timer job to periodically get pictures from the local folder in your computer. Please refer to this article:
Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/634208/Create-and-Deploy-Custom-Timer-Job-Definition-in-S
you could upload pictures to your SharePoint from the folder with C# code, please refer to this article:
How to: Upload a File to a SharePoint Site from a Local Folder

Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

Hello Users,
I want to capture images from Camera directly at high
resolution. The problem is that although I am able to capture
images from a Video Object, but the images are small because the
Video size is only 160x120. So if I am able to capture directly
from Camera, I am sure to get a higher resolution images at which
the camera is capturing.
Any help in this matter will be of great help

How to save image catch from USB camera to database ?

Hi guys.
I needed help on IMAQdx tools. But i dont know how to save image that catch from USB camera to database.

So you can acquire the image OK?
And you want to save it to a SQL database?

Synchronized capture for multiple USB cameras

I need to capture images from 8 USB cameras at the same time. I don't need to continuously acquire images (just one set every few seconds), but I need the 8 cameras to capture at very close to the same exact time. Just testing with two cameras at the moment, and one camera always seems to capture about 0.4 seconds after the other. Attached is the current VI I'm testing with.
Any idea how to speed this up? I thought having both grab.vi's in a separate frame would help make them occur at the same time, but it's still a lot slower than I hoped for. Thanks for any suggestions.
Attachments:
Grab USB frame manual.vi ‏46 KB

All depends from precision. 100 ms is not bad result. For better precision I would like to suggest to use cams with external triggers. The cameras with USB interface are also available, for example:
http://www.thorlabs.de/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=2916
http://www.edmundoptics.com/products/displayproduct.cfm?productid=3356
http://www.ptgrey.com/news/pressreleases/details.asp?articleID=230
Otherwise they may be incompatible with IMAQdx (the only DirectShow compliant cameras are supported). Point Gray Chameleon seems to be DirectShow compatible.

I have an Air running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera, but have never downloaded any images from the camera to this Air. If I connect the camera to the Air, what might I expect? Will connecting the camera to the Air by a cable

I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?

Answered. Thanks.

HT4101 I discovered a fatal flaw in the iPad procedure for downloading images from camera to iPad: after selecting the images to be downloaded, an accidental touch of the "delete" button, wipes all selected images from the camera, with no warning?

After downloading some 60 images from camera to iPad, I was "scrolling" down to select the last images, and inadvertently touched the "Delete" button that appears at the top right of the screen, when the "Select" option is chosen. I did not notice the warning "Delete 60 Images?", and continued scrolling down, when my finger touched the warning message. All my precious images were instantly deleted from the camera The sensitive touch screen feature makes this a real problem. Apple should "fix" this unacceptable feature, surely! I suggest that the images on the camera memory card should not be able to be deleted from the iPad, and this shpuld require to be done using the camera controls only. Similarly, the "Delete" or "Keep" options that appear after importing a selection from the camera, should NOT allow the images on rthe camera to be deleted, but only the imported (downloaded) images on the iPad. This unnecessary option could easily delete precious images from the camera!
Apple should remove the option to delete images from the camera, and the iPad touch screen commands should olny delete images on the iPad. (Alternatively, the "delete option should be on a separatly accessed "page".)
Surely enough users of the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" will agree with the above?

No, I don't agree. Whenever you connect a camera to a computer you are given the opportunity to delete the photos on the camera after downloading in precisely the same way the iPad does this. The fact that you touched Delete and then ignored the Warning doesn't change anything.
I've loaded thousands of photos on my IPad and never have had that problem.
Don't blame a moment of carelessness on your device.

The first error I see is that you're using the CaptureDeviceManager in an applet. If T.B.M pops in here, he can tell you why that's going to be a CF 99% of the time.
The other error I see is that your code looks absolutely nothing like any working JMF webcam capture code I've personally ever seen.
Lastly, the big one, even if you were somehow capturing video magically, you're not even trying to display it...so I'm not entirely sure why you expect to see anything with the code you just posted.

Your best bet would be starting over and using the example code from the page linked above.

When capturing images from a Nikon D600, they show in Bridge, but when clicked to load into CS6,an error message says that it is the wrong type of document, even jpeg files. This is a NEW frustration.

Nikon raw files would open up in Adobe Camera Raw and so should jpegs.
If you select one in Bridge and give the command "Ctrl r" (Windows), what happens?
Also what is the version of ACR in the title bar?

Capturing image from Webcam

Hi,
Is there any way in which Java can be used to capture images from the webcam and save it to a predefined image file name?
Any examples out there?
Alternatively, I could have the application written in other languages, but still, I would need my main Java app to launch this external app.
Thanks alot.

Thanks alot.Yes, the ExampleSave from the JavaTwain package at http://www.gnome.sk does this job :)
If you just want to see how Java Twain works with your webcam (works with a scanner too):
- java (1.2 or higher for Windows, 1.3 or higher for Mac OS X) has to be installed on your computer
- a scanner or camera has to be installed on your computer
- download the trial package from http://www.gnome.sk
- unzipp it
- go to the examples directory of the unzipped package
- in Windows: doubleclick the runExampleShow.bat
- in MacOS:
- open the Terminal window
- change the working directory to the examples
- run .sh file (type ExampleShow.sh or sh ExampleShow.sh)
This will pop up the Twain Source Selection user interface. There, all your scanners and cameras which do have a twain driver should be listed. (About 90% of scanners and cameras on the market do have a twain driver for Windows, only a few do have a twain driver for MacOS.) Select one of them. The user interface of the selected scanner (camera) will appear. Confirm the scanning (you can set the scanning parameters first). The scanned image will be displayed in a separate window. To end the application, close that window.
Running different examples, you can test scanning with hidden UI, saving the scanned image, using ADF, ...
If there is any problem, do not hesitate to inquire about it at the technical support, email: [email protected] . I am the member of the staff :)
