IMAQ Get LCD ROI VI
Owning Palette: Instrument ReadersInstalled With: NI Vision Development ModuleUse this VI to locate a seven-segment display within an area of interest. The display can contain multiple digits. To find the area of each digit, all of the segments of the seven-segment indicator must be activated.
This VI is designed for seven-segment displays that use either LCDs or LEDs composed of electroluminescent indicators or light-emitting diodes. It is resistant to light drift. It returns the area of interest containing the global rectangle for each digit. You can pass this ROI Descriptor directly to the IMAQ Read Meter VI.
LCD / LED (LCD) is a Boolean that controls the indicator type. FALSE corresponds to LCD indicators, and TRUE corresponds to LED indicators. The default is FALSE. |

Image is a reference to the source image. |

ROI Descriptor is a descriptor that defines the rectangle or rotated rectangle, with a rotation angle of 0, region of interest that contains each digit.

|||||||||||
Threshold is the threshold that determines whether a segment is ON or OFF. A segment is considered ON if the standard deviation of the pixels along a line profile across the segment is greater than this threshold. Increase this value when using images with high contrast. Lower this value when using images with low contrast. The default is 8. |

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.

ROI Descriptor out is an ROI descriptor containing bounding rectangles of all the digits found by the algorithm. The bounding rectangle of each located digit is specified as a rectangle contour in the returned ROI descriptor.
|
|||||||||||
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.
