Help for a beginner creating a 2d image-processing suite in LabVIEW.

[S]

I am a final year student and currently seeking any advice from experienced engineers with regard to my project.

The project is to create a LabVIEW based image-processing suite, which would be able to import 2d arrays of data from microscope, plus other information (scaling, date/time, sample info) and perform the following functions:

Visualisation – 2d & 3d, Cross-section Profile Analysis, Histogram, Fourier Transform, Auto-Correlation, Copy, Print, Save & Export, Colour Palette Edit, Zoom, Manipulate.

Having not used LabView previously, any examples or information you may have would be of extreme use,

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me,

Sam,

Most of these tools are readily available in LabVIEW when you purchase the IMAQ Vision toolkit. You just need to learn how to use them and set them up. In your case, I would strongly recommend starting with Vision Builder. You can learn how to use a number of these tools, and it may actually be sufficient for your project without writing any code. It can generate LabVIEW code as well, so it would get you started on your program.
