Continuous vision acqusiition cpu usage
Hi!,I need to acquire color images from a gige camera as fast as possible, but process only some of them (around 5 frames per second must be processed). Because single acquisiition is too slow (around 100ms to snap), I'm using contiuous acqusiition and a pulse to process the image needed. For analysis the image is converted to monochrome, which takes most processing time. I include an image and two vis I've tested but I dont understand the execution sequence labview is following. The first vi uses only 8% cpu usage but doesn't convert all the images to monochorme, while the second vi converts all of them correctly but has 27%! of cpu usage. Just wanted to know if I'm doing this right.
Hi there;
You can reduce the CPU usage by using a low level VI instead of the Vision Assistant express VI; since you are only doing the image type conversion in it. I believe it is faster....
Hope it helps
