IMAQ Vision is an image acquisition, processing, and analysis library of
more than 200 functions for grayscale, color, and binary image display,
image processing, pattern matching, shape matching, blob analysis,
gauging, and measurement.
You can use IMAQ Vision functions directly or in combination for unique
image processing. With IMAQ Vision you can acquire, display, manipulate,
and store images as well as perform image analysis, processing, and
interpretation. Using IMAQ Vision, an imaging novice or expert can
perform graphical programming of the most basic or complicated image
applications without knowledge of any algorithm implementations.
IMAQ Vision is available for LabVIEW, BridgeVIEW, LabWindows/CVI,
Microsoft Visual C++, or ComponentWorks.
IMAQ Vision Builder is an interactive prototyping tool for machine vision
and scientific imaging developers. With IMAQ Vision Builder, you can
prototype vision software quickly or test how various vision image
processing functions work.
As shown in Figure 1-3, IMAQ Vision Builder generates a Builder file,
which is a text description that contains a recipe of the machine vision and
image processing functions. This Builder file provides a guide you can use
to develop applications with IMAQ Vision in LabVIEW, BridgeVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, and ComponentWorks.
