partical flow in 3d

[cees10]

Is there a way to see the flow of a partical in 3D in vision software?

If yes how?

[Z'atari]

I need some clarification on your question. What is it that you are trying to do? Are you trying to get a 3D rendering of a particle, or fluid moving? or are just acquiring images?

Please be specific in describing your application.

I want to follow  the path of a partical in the air (as a example a soap bubble )

 so moving path

[Z'atari]

What is your space restrictions or constraint? I believe that you can set two cameras in perpendicular to acquire two images of the bubble travelling, and then with VISION, you could extract the X, Y, and Z and create a 3-D Vizualization using the 3-D picture control toolkit.

Hope this helps!

3d picture control set  .  did not kow there was any ?!

what do you mean by restrictions and the constraints?  

I do not  fully  understand what you mean

i want to create something like this

Right, so in the video they do mention that you would need two cameras to get the X,Y and Z. Then you can just plot the point using 3D plotting in LabVIEW. If you are looking for a visualization of the bubble, you can create it using our 3D picture Control toolkit.

Does that answer your question?

[cees10]

YES and No

Becuase i have no idea how the software would track the  bubble's

Becuase its impossible to do it by hand

[Z'atari]

You will need to get two cameras, and get NI Vision Development Module, there are functionalities inside that would find the bubble in the picture and track it. You do this for two frames at the same time and you can extract the X, Y, and Z values. Then you would either plot that point with time using a 3D plot, or/and you could draw a bubble and have a visualization of it using the 3D picture control toolkit.

NI Vision Development Module  

wich version?

[cees10]

3D plot, or/and you could draw a bubble and have a visualization of it using the 3D picture control toolkit. 

Can you show me the icon of the 3d plot and the 3d picture controlkit.

i am afraid  i mis it ,or the is a interpertion problem.

Meaby point out also a example ?  of the problem
