Vision Assistant Generated .NET Code Produce Error

I have succesfully created AdaptiveThreshold application using Vision Assistant for image with gradient illumination. It is working perfectly.

Then i generated .NET code from the project. The problem is, .NET code always produce error when i ran the application. The error came up when i want to apply LowPass filter.

 

Here is the code generated by Vision Assistant (i also attached the complet VS project and the sample image on the folder):

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using NationalInstruments.Vision.WindowsForms;
using NationalInstruments.Vision;
using NationalInstruments.Vision.Analysis;
using Vision_Assistant.Utilities;

namespace Vision_Assistant
{
    static class Image_Processing
    {
        //public static ReadTextReport vaOCRReport;
    
        public static PaletteType ProcessImage(VisionImage image)
        {
            // Initialize the IVA_Data structure to pass results and coordinate systems.
            IVA_Data ivaData = new IVA_Data(9, 0);
            
            // Image Buffer: Push
            Functions.IVA_PushBuffer(ivaData, image, 0);

            // Extract Color Plane
            using (VisionImage plane = new VisionImage(ImageType.U8, 7))
            {
                // Extract the luminance plane and copy it to the main image.
                Algorithms.ExtractColorPlanes(image, ColorMode.Hsl, null, null, plane);
                Algorithms.Copy(plane, image);
            }
            
            // Filters: Low Pass - Filters an image using a non-linear filter.
            VisionImage lowpassImage = new VisionImage(ImageType.U8);
            Algorithms.LowPass(image, lowpassImage, new LowPassOptions(25, 25, 5));
            
            // Image Buffer: Push
            Functions.IVA_PushBuffer(ivaData, image, 1);
            
            // Operators: Subtract Image
            Algorithms.Subtract(image, Functions.IVA_GetBuffer(ivaData, 0), image);
            
            // Thresholds an image into 2 classes by using local thresholding.
            LocalThresholdOptions vaLocalThresholdOptions = new LocalThresholdOptions();
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.DeviationWeight = 0;
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.Method = LocalThresholdMethod.NiBlack;
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.ParticleType = ParticleType.Bright;
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.ReplaceValue = 1;
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.WindowHeight = 50;
            vaLocalThresholdOptions.WindowWidth = 50;
            Algorithms.LocalThreshold(image, image, vaLocalThresholdOptions);
            
            // Filters an image using a non-linear filter.
            // First, increase the border size, if necessary.
            if (image.BorderWidth < Math.Max(3, 3))
            {
                image.BorderWidth = Math.Max(3, 3);
            }
            // For each pixel, the algorithm takes the neighborhood specified by the given filter sizes
            // and replaces the pixel with the nth smallest value in the neighborhood.
            Algorithms.NthOrder(image, image, 3, 3, (int)Math.Floor(3 * 3 / 2.0));
            
            // Lookup Table: Equalize
            // Calculates the histogram of the image and redistributes pixel values
            // accross the desired range to maintain the same pixel value distribution.
            Range equalizeRange = new Range(0, 255);
            if (image.Type != ImageType.U8)
            {
                equalizeRange.Maximum = 0;
            }
            Algorithms.Equalize(image, image, null, equalizeRange, null);
            
            // Lookup Table: Reverse - Inverts the pixel intensities of the image.
            Algorithms.Inverse(image, image, null);
           
            return PaletteType.Binary;

        }
    }
}

 

 

Please help.

The problem is solved after manually set image border width before applying low pass filter.
