IMAQ RGB Hue and Color Manipulation

[Joel Khan]

Overview

The example demonstrates how to extract color planes from an image and how to manipulate them.

Description

This example extracts the red, green and blue hue planes from a 32 bit RGB image. Once extracted, these hue planes are multiplied by user controlled values and recombined to create a new 32 bit RGB image.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW 2012 Base Development System (or compatible)
• Vision Development Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open the attached file
2. Run the VI
3. Change the multiplier settings and check how the extracted hue planes and the resulting image change
4. (Optional) Click Reset to set the multipliers for all color planes to 1
