Owning Palette: Locate Edges
Requires: NI Vision Development Module

Returns the maximum disparity value expected for a point at a certain depth from a binocular stereo system. Use this VI to compute the number of disparities that the IMAQ Stereo Correspondence (Block Matching) VI or IMAQ Stereo Correspondence (SG Block Matching) VI should search over based on the minimum depth you expect the objects under inspection to be from the stereo system.

Examples

IMAQ Get Maximum Disparity 2

Q Matrix describes the binocular stereo setup. This matrix is the output from the IMAQ Get Binocular Stereo Calibration Info VI.

Min. Desired Depth (units) specifies the minimum depth (in the units used during calibration) at which the stereo system should detect objects.

Image Width (pixels) is the width of the images acquired by the stereo setup.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Max. Disparity is the maximum disparity value that corresponds to the input Min. Desired Depth (units). Use this as the value for the Number of Disparitiesinput in the IMAQ Stereo Correspondence (Block Matching) VI or IMAQ Stereo Correspondence (SG Block Matching) VI.

Min. Depth Covered (units) is the minimum depth at which the stereo setup can detect objects. This corresponds to the output Max. Disparity value. The Min. Depth Covered (units) will be different from the input Min. Desired Depth (units) if the overlap between the cameras in the stereo setup is not large enough detect objects at desired minimum depth.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
