the smallest signal increment that can be detected by a measurement
system; resolution can be expressed in bits, in proportions, or in percent of
full scale. For example, a system has 12-bit resolution, one part in 4,096
resolution, and 0.0244 percent of full scale.
red, green, and blue—the three primary colors used to represent a color
picture. An RGB camera is a camera that deliver three signals, one for each
primary.
a flat cable in which the conductors are side by side
region-of-interest— a hardware-programmable rectangular portion of the
acquisition window
read-only memory
the U.S. standard used for black-and-white television
Real-Time System Integration Bus—the National Instruments timing bus
that connects IMAQ and DAQ boards directly, by means of connectors on
top of the boards, for precise synchronization of functions
seconds
the richness of a color. A saturation of zero corresponds to no color, that is,
a gray pixel. Pink is a red with low saturation.
circuitry that scales down the resolution of a video signal
a type of DMA that allows the DMA controller to reconfigure on-the-fly
static RAM
a post-processing algorithm that allows the acquisition of high-quality
color images generated either by an RGB or composite (NTSC or PAL)
camera using a monochrome video acquisition board.
tells the display where to put a video picture; the horizontal sync indicates
the picture's left-to-right placement and the vertical sync indicates
top-to-bottom placement
