IMAQ CannyEdgeDetection VI

Owning Palette: FiltersInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Uses a specialized edge detection method to accurately estimate the location of edges even under conditions of poor signal-to-noise ratios.

Image Src is a reference to the source image.

Image Dst is a reference to the destination image.

Filter Parameters is a cluster containing the following filter parameters:

	Sigma is the sigma of the Gaussian smoothing filter that the VI applies to the image before performing the edge detection.
	HThresh (High Threshold) defines the upper percentage of pixel values in the image from which the edge detection algorithm chooses the seed or starting point of an edge segment. You can choose values from 0 to 1.
	LThres (Low Threshold) is multiplied by the HThresh value to define a lower threshold for all the pixels in an edge segment.
	WindowSize defines the size of the Gaussian filter that the VI applies to the image. The size must be an odd number.

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.
	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.

Image Dst Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src.

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.
