Can somebody tell me what exactly does IMAQ Read Image.vi does?

I could not understand what the help says....

Hello,

IMAQ Read Image will read an image file from your computer, like image.bmp, and load that image into LabVIEW.  It is useful for importing pictures and images into LabVIEW for analysis.  It is possible to load .jpg, .bmp, .tiff, and .png images.

Hope this helps!

oh

but what does it convert into ??

does it convert to pixel array data ??

Hi,

The data is read into the LabVIEW image data type.  This data type stores the image and allows you to use image based functions and the image display tool.  If you need to access specific pixel data, you are able to use the IMAQ image to Array VI to create a 2 dimensional array of intensity values.
