Identify Multiple "Perfection" Pieces Using Geometric Edge Matching

[Burrito]

Overview

This VI uses a camera and Geometric Matching functions to determine the location of each "Perfection" piece in an image.

Description

First, a Geometric Matching template was created for each piece using the NI Template Editor that comes with the Vision Development Module. Within the VI itself, an array of these template images is created. When the pieces are placed in the camera's view and the program is run, the camera takes an image and compares the image to the 25 piece templates using the Match Geometric Pattern 2 VI. The program then attempts to find each piece within the image, and returns the location, rotation, and scale (in relation to the template image) of each piece within an array.

Steps to Implement Code

1. Download Identify Pieces.zip
2. Make sure the VI and the Perfection Templates folder are both contained in the same directory
3. Place the Perfection pieces under a camera or select a sample image
4. Run the program
