Saving Images Using Vision Acquisition Express

I'm trying to save an Image as a jpg using Vision Acquisition Express. My code looks like this. I am able to view the images and scroll through them afterwards, but when I add the file saving portion, I get an error that says "Error 1074395995 occured at IMAQ WriteBMPFile File not found."
How should I go about Fixing this?
Also, when i was running this before, I was getting a memory error and I couldn't figure out how to clear the memory. I was only able to fix this by scraping my previous script and starting over. I haven't gotten this error so far.

Hi,
The error you are getting indicates that the file path is invalid. I just set the file path to my desktop and I could save the files. I would double check to make sure the path you specified is valid for the computer you are running it on.
As far as the memory error, it is really hard to say what the cause is. If you aren't getting it anymore then I wouldn't be to concerned.

Vision acquisition express stalls when i select a camera even if i click 'refresh'

The vision acquisition express stalls when i select a camera even if i click 'refresh'. Using Labview 2010 (evaluation) on a Windows 7 laptop and tried on another computer running windows xp.

Hi,
A few questions:
1) What kind of camera are you using? (what model, are you using IMAQ, IMAQdx, what version, etc.)
2) Are you able to acquire from your camera in MAX?
3) can you run a shipping example using the low level VI's or does this only happen in Vision Acquisition Express?

Vision Acquisition Express VI error

Hello
I am new in labview and I am using the Vision Acquisition Express VI in a while loop. When I run the code, I get an error message " NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF69004) Invalid camera session".
Please help me

Which iteration? If it fails from the very first its likely that the express VI is not configured correctly. If it fails on subsequent iterations there might be a problem using the express VI in a loop (never use express VIs inside loops).

Vision Acquisition Express vi stopped working

Hi everyone,
The Vision Acquisition Express vi always worked perfectly on my pc, but suddenly, he stopped working today (I can drop it on the block diagram,but there is no pop-up or something,
I tried the following:
- restart pc (didn't help)
- try other express vi's (including other vision express vi) (worked fine)
- convert it to normal vi (empty vi as result)
- open properties with rightmouseclick (didn't help)
- open an example en doubleclick and rightmouseclick properties (didn't help)
Anyone an idea??
Best Regards,
Henk
Solved!

Hi Henk_kempen,
This is really weird. Do you know what has happened to the VI/PC before this happen?
There are some troubleshooting you can try.
1. This problem really close to DAQ assistant issue in this white paper. You might try the method in the link below to see if this solve your problem.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5CD79190713D2B558625765F007FCC99
2. Repair the software is another option. It worked in many cases.
3. I try to avoid this but reinstall the software may help in your case.
Best regards,

Saving image using mobile into sap R/3

We are using sap mobile platform version 2.3 and our client requirement is to save images using mobile apps.
We already saved images in mime repository but for this we have to required client modifiable , but due to security reason we can't do this.
Please Help.

Hi Nilesh ,
I had a scenario to attach image to pr05 transaction from mobile, so that when click view attachment button in pr05 i can see the image . My code is based on that .
it is the function module with import parameter base64 string and filename ,last three letters of the file name proceeding the . is the extension
in your case you need to create custom object type instead of BUS2089 .
Do research regarding that ..

Registration of several reference images in a test image using vision builder

I have downloaded the trial version of vision builder, and I am attempting a test to determine if it's worth buying:
I would like to determine the position and orientation of two reference parts within a set of test images. I am able to load the reference images, obtain the grayscale, perform appropriate filters, determine their global orientation based on some straight lines, and select the desired ROI's that I would like to match up. I am also able to load in a test image, take the grayscale, and filter it. My state diagram has three heads with the three loading steps that converge. This all seems to be great, but how do I find the position and orientation of the reference ROI's within the test image?
I would like to use something like the geometric matching tool, but it only seems to work on using a part of a first image on subsequent images in the same folder. I suppose I could use my reference as the first image in the folder, then loop through the remaining ones, but...
Once I find the position and orientation of the first reference in the test image, I would then like to find the position and orientation of the second reference in the same test image, then report values like relative distances and angles between these found references.
Does this mean I need two folders, with their own reference image and the same set of test images? Would I combine the geometric matching results using some variables or math functions?
What is the best way to perform this image registration in vision builder?

RSFree101,
Thank you for your interest in Vision Builder AI. If I understand what you are trying to do, you are looking to compare the position locations of two separate parts in an image. We have a tool that does this very well. If you use the pattern matching to find both instances of the part, you should be able to determine the distance and angle between them relatively easily. To do this, you will need to find an edge in between the two so that you can justify the angle between them, and then simply use a few Geometry functions to actually find the angle. To record this information, you can simply use a Data Logging step to write your findings to file.
If you are looking for a more complete analysis on how you might be able to do this, you will need the Vision Assistant on your computer (if you do not have it already, you can get it by downloading a free trial of our Vision Development Module). In the Vision Assistant splash screen, click on the Solution Wizard. This pulls up a menu. From there, go to Tutorial » Bracket Inspection. Click Load Solution. If you step through that example, this displays how to do what you are looking to do with the Vision Assistant, but it should be no different at all in Vision Builder AI. Hopefully this helps.

Projecting still images using final cut express

Maybe someone can answer this tricky question. We need to project a FCE movie that has photoshop still images imported into it, but these photoshop images (which appear normal on the computer screen), are distorted in the projection. They look squashed horizontally. In fact the still image that we made with photoshop and imported into final cut needs to be projected on a wall to match a four foot tall section of the wall, so we need get the size exact. That is the reason why we cannot have any distortion.
We have read that still images imported into final cut should be 720 by 480 pixels to avoid distortion, but that produces an even more squashed image, and this in pixels, that determined the size of the image, so how would we determined the size without affecting the pixels? The distance between the projector and the wall is already fixed and we cannot move it. Does anyone know how to maintain the original proportions of a still image imported into FCE for projection? Thank so much.

Hi, thanks you for your quick answer. We used photoshop elements 4.0 (for Mac) and Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 (Mac). The still image that we bring into FE is a mask, it has a transparency so I guessed is layered. When we bring it into FE appears as sequence so we open it into a timeline and bring it back to the browser so it can be used as a still image. The movie is projected as DVD on the wall.

Save image using write file2

I am acquiring real time images using laptop web camera.
I want to save them and read them to use in another application.
I connected the vision acquisition express to imaq write file 2.
I used imaq read file to read the written image files.
When I tried I encountered the following problem."Error -1074395989 occurred at IMAQ ReadFile
Possible reason(s):
IMAQ Vision: Unable to read data"
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Can you show the VI you are using to save and to load the image file?
Here's a little example for how to read an image from file and display it :

No wiring point in Vision Acquisition function.

Hello,
I have download the vision driver and want to use Vision Acquisition function under vision express to get image from my webcamera. The initialization part works well. But after I place the icon on the block panel, I can't find wiring connection points on the icon.Could someboby tell me how to deal with it?
Btw, I am using labview 2013 as well as NI Vision Acquisition Software September 2013.
This is my result.
This is the result I am looking for, how to add stop(F) and Image out below Vision Acquisition.
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers,
Dylan

The Vision Acquisition block looks unconfigured. Do you get an option to configure the express VI? It your license still active. You can go to NI License Manager to check the status.

Multi-Camera-Link Vision Acquisition using .avi

So I'm trying to use two Camera-Link Cameras (JAI CM-200-MCL) with the NI PCIe 1430 frame grabber in order to obtain video of a y-axis tensile testing project, and I'm relatively new to the whole LabVIEW experience. Essentially, I want to be able to capture every image of the testing process, so I can correlate the tensile testing results with specific images using the same sample clock, (e.g. data taken at 30 seconds match the image taken at 30 seconds). I'm trying to put everything together in piece and I already have a fairly stable, working tensile testing program written for LabVIEW 2009. I'm now in the process of using IMAQ (4.4) to track these images and save them as a .avi file. I've provided some sample code -- although it currently isn't working -- that's very simplistic.
Questions:
1. Is there an even simpler way?
2. Can I sync the tensile testing VI and the Vision VI by placing the Vision VI in the Tensile Testing VI inside an event structure that's triggered by the "start" button. (Boolean)
Thanks

lyncheb,
How accurately do you want your test and images to by synchronized (second, millisecond...)? If you only need to be accurate to around 1 second then software timing would work. However if you need sub milisecond accuracy you will want to use hardware triggering. The 1430 is capable of hardware triggering over a RTSI line. See page 16 (2-4) of the user manual here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372016a.pdf
What kind of data are you logging? What hardware / software are you using to log this data?

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.

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?

Does anyone know how to display (in LabVIEW) the memory use during execution of an image and data acquisition VI to predict when it is time to cease the acquisition to prevent the program crashing?
I am acquiring images and data to a buffer on the edge of the while loop, and am finding that the crashing of the program is unpredictable, but almost always due to a memory saturation when the buffers gets too big.
I have attached the VI.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

I am using adobe photoshop cs6. I am facing a problem. When i save any image as "save for web". After saving image it show cropped. An image show many parts of the image after saving the image. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

Acquiring Images using the USB port

I want to acquire Images using the USB port of the PC. Is it possible to acquire images using the USB port and analyze the image using IMAQ library. If we use the USB port direct then we may not need the IMAQ vision acquisition card.

Try Irene's drivers (see previous answer above), or Peter Parente's webcam drivers (www.mindofpete.org).
