Image Processing with LabVIEW and IMAQ Vision

This book brings together everything you need to achieve superior results with PC-based image processing and analysis. Expert Thomas Klinger combines a highly accessible overview of the field's key concepts, tools, and techniques; the first expert introduction to NI's breakthrough IMAQ Vision software; and several start-to-finish application case studies. You also get an extensive library of code and image samples, as well as a complete trial version of IMAQ Vision for Windows®. Coverage includes:

* Defining what to measure and how to measure it
* Acquiring images: working with CCDs, cameras, frame grabber cards, and leading medical image sources, including ultrasound, CT, and MRI
* Distributing images: compression techniques, image format standards, and DICOM medical imaging
* Processing images: gray-scale operations, spatial image filtering, frequency filtering,
* and morphology functions
* Analyzing images: pixel value and quantitative analyses, shape and pattern matching, bar codes, and more

With 300+ figures and 50+ exercises-all listed up front for easy access-this is the definitive image processing tutorial for every professional.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains IMAQ Vision multimedia demonstration software, plus an evaluation version of NI's Vision Builder for Automated Inspection evaluation software for Windows 98/NT/Me/2000/XP. It also contains application examples, color images, and code examples-including several open source, platform-independent VIs.
