Just wondering if there already exists a VI that uses IMAQ USB functions to read in an image from a webcam and allow for measuring the position of a beam spot (just a light circular spot on a dark background) relative to some set of axes. The goal is beam stabilization. The beam spot will be moving, so the program should track its movement and write commands to a couple of motorized mirrors that then move in ways to offset the beam movement, resulting in an output beam that is centered on our target (without wobbling). If someone is already using something like this (i.e. a pointing stabilizer controlled through LabVIEW), we would greatly appreciate being able to use the code. If we need to write the code, we'll do that, but we'll likely have some questions along the way! We're new to the Vision package and IMAQ. Also wondering if we can build something in Vision Assistant and import it into LabVIEW to accomplish this (or at least part of this)...?
Many thanks.
Andrew
