IMAQ to RGB matrix

[pakopon]

Hello!

Is there a utility in IMAQ to transform an IMAQ image.ctl from a video stream to a RGB matrix (480x640x8)?

Thanks in advance.

I tried with IMAQ ImageToArray but it doesn't work 😞

Hi want more information . try to be elaborate

The function called IMAQ Color Image to Array should do the trick.  I don't know why you are having problems.  Do you have the Vision Development module activated?  Otherwise, you may not have access to this vi.

Hello.

I'm gonna check it out 

thanks.

Hello, 

I have the NI Vision Development module activated. The error I receive is the "1074396080 Invalid image type". I checked on the forum and I found this:

But I don't know if its the same problem.

Away from a PC that has LabVIEW.  Will look at it when I get back at the office, but I would guess that your error message is an indication of the root cause.

Ok, 

thanks and happy holidays.

I know it is 14th January but... Happy new year everybody 🙂

I'm still stuck at the same point and I've found some threads talking about an "ImageToArray.vi" example, probably this one:

I cannot find it in my Labview examples, anyone could share it or suggest any other way to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Is this the sort of thing you are after?

(obviously this isnt from a video stream, this is just a nice easy way to mock up the idea)

Your 'invalid image type' error can be solved by defining the image type as RGB, rather than the default Grayscale (see bottom left of above snippet)
