Converting video format for image processing

[KK Cheong]

Hi,

I'm a new user for labVIEW. Here's my question related to video processing:

I had recorded a video for a moving object (e.g. pollen). And I wish to perform image processing to determine the distance travelled by the object. Therefore, how should I convert the video format into frame? And, how should I perform image processing in labVIEW in order to determine the distance travelled by the object?

My video format is wmv file, and I wish to perform image processing after I had recorded the video. My labVIEW version is labVIEW 2009. 

Thank you. 

Regards,

KK

Hi cheong,

 First of all your video should be in avi format to be split into frames...

Once you convert it to avi, you'll need IMAQ AVI Read Frame from Vision Acquisition Software, http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/ssnav:sup,catnav:du,n8:13.79.7820, to read each frame.
Then, use match pattern function in Vision Development Module, http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/ps/10/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/q/..., to detect your object, and its position.
