Overview

This example demonstrates how to search for the upper right pixel of a pattern in a pixmap.

 

Description

A simple image can be searched using LabVIEW in order to find objects. A image is composed of a table of pixels for representing lines and colors.  This example VI can be used to open a black and white JPEG image to find the first pixel where the object appears.  The VI returns the pixel number in reference to the top-left corner acting as the origin.
