Acquiring and Processing Images (myRIO Toolkit)

You can connect a USB camera to the USB host port on the myRIO to acquire and process images. You must install the following NI software to create image applications:

• NI Vision Acquisition Software—Allows you to acquire images from USB cameras that you connect to the myRIO.
• NI Vision Development Module—Helps you develop image processing applications, such as image pattern recognition, color sensing, light sensing, and object tracking.

After you connect a USB camera to the myRIO and install the software, select Tools»Vision Assistant in LabVIEW to launch the Vision Assistant to start acquiring and processing images.
