Grabbing and image from a live webcam

[Mitch899]

The reason the template looks blank is because its extremely zoomed in. When you run the program the first think you are prompted to do is select the base image from your computer files for which you then draw the box around to get the template.

The large while loop around the for loops can be removed. Within the for loop functions is what i am using to image correct. They worked on my previous program. Just trying to get a series of valid frames from the live feed to place through the bottom nested for loop.

"OK.  Then you should be able to get images from a WebCam (or your PC's Camera).

1. Plug in the Camera to your computer (skip if using the Computer's camera).
2. Open MAX.
3. In Devices and Interfaces, choose your Camera.
4. In the right-hand pane, click "Snap" (= take a snapshot).

Do you have an Image?  Then your camera is working and you should be able to acquire images with LabVIEW."

Well in my case, once I press snap or grab button an error occur, even though I have all the IMAQ required for my Ethernet Port camera. Why I cannot use it?

It always displays the current message: CIMAQ "errors loading control the default settings for the control will be used"

Thanks in advance.
