Overview

The example demonstrates how to extract a pixel value from an image.

 

Description

In case only single pixels from an image should to be analyzed it is possible to extract the pixel value from an IMAQ image with 'IMAQ GetColorPixelValue'.

The example allows to select a pixel by specifying coordinates or by clicking the desired pixel in the Image Display control.

 

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. Either click on the desired pixel on the Image Display or adjust the X/Y Coordinate sliders
