Overview

The example demonstrates how to zoom and mask an IMAQ image with a Region of Interest (ROI).

 

Description

You can use the ROI tools in an LabVIEW Image Display control to create ROIs manually. You can use a ROI for example to zoom into a previously selected area or create a mask from that ROI. Also ROI can be converted to masks that can be used to apply a calculation only to a smaller part of the image.
The example shows the original image in the left 'Original Image Display'. The user can then select a ROI in that image display with any ROI tool and after the ROI has been selected the 'Template Image Display' shows the original image zoomed to the selected ROI. The user can then select another ROI and with that ROI a mask will be generated and displayed in the 'Mask Image Display' control.
The example also features a subVI 'Wait for ROI Selection' that can detect an event for the image display control as soon as a ROI has been selected.
 

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. Run the VI
  2. Select a ROI in the left image display
  3. Select a ROI in the middle image display
