Bubble count software

[supermars]

Hello,

I am a graduate student in UW-Madison.

I got many pictures taking bubble nucleation on a wire by using a high speed camera.

The bubble analysis such as bubble diameter, departure frequency,and the number of bubble is so painful without automation software.

Which NI software should be helpful to me?

Thanks.

You need the Vision Assistant or Vision Builder.

Hopefully your school has a good educational license for this SW.

If you end up having to go another route besides LabVIEW, ImageJ is sort of the educational standard for image analysis.

Good luck with the research!

This can be done in labview with vision development and labview.

See an application we did for counting seeds dropped through a shoot  usind the VDM

Essentially you will need to first threshold your image into bubbles and background, then use the blob counting using a function like imaq quantify.  You can do alot of fancy extra analysis to seperate overlapping bubbles like watersheading or can use the quantify to get particle areas and estimate the number of touching bubbles assuming you have a good understanding of the expected size distribution.
