LabVIEW laplacian filter

[DMJeff]

I just loaded LabVIEW 2013 and the Vision Module 2013, although I have used LabVIEW for years.

I have a project requiring machine vision.

I started up the Vision Assistant, and used some of the tools to see what would work.

I found that applying the filter, Laplacian edge detection, would get me a step closer to identifying the edge as necessary.

I then went to LabVIEW and created a VI to capture images from the camera (with help from Examples of course).

I can display the image on the screen.

Then I went looking for the vision processing VI that will apply the Laplacian edge detection.

I found the filters, and the Edge Detection, but I don't see how to apply the Laplacian filter that I used in the Vision Assistant.

What am I missing?  Where can I find this tool in LabVIEW?

Thanks,

Jeff

The Lapalacian filter, and all others are created by using the convolution kernel vi.

Why don't you just use Vision Assistant to export your script to LabVIEW code?  Then you can have a look inside.

Thanks, that worked.
