Overview

This example demonstrates how to display an image as boolean 2D array. 

 

Description

I wrote this example for a bit of fun to show how images can be loaded into LabVIEW and pixel information taken out.

You run the VI and select an image to be loaded in and turned into a boolean array (Do not load an image too big or it might crash as every pixel of the image is represented by a boolean).

 

Requirements

 Software

  • LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
  • NI Vision Development Module 2012 (or compatible)
  • If running in a Real-Time context, you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

  • No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
  2. Open and run the VI

Nice one.

Hey,

This is a great example... But how can you import an image onto a fixed sized grid. For example an 8x8 boolean array.

I tried editing your example, but basically I cannot alter the pixels to fit the smaller grid...
