writing color gaussian filter

[Shijin Knox]

Dear all,

I am a new comer in the world of LabVIEW. Now I am doing an image processing project in LabVIEW 8.6. In that I need to apply a Gaussian filter into a 32 bit PNG image. I've searched a lot in this topic. But I could only get the Gaussian filter for gray scale image. But i tried it changing its type of the image to RGB(32) but didn't work.

It shows an error "IMAQ Vision: (Hex 0xBFF60450) Invalid image type". Please help me to find out a solution. Thanking you in advance.

Split the color image into the color planes. Then you have three grayscale images which can be filtered. After that merge the colorplane back to a color image. The VIs for splitting and merging are found in the Vision Utilities > Color Utilities Palette.

Thank you unicorn thank you very much. I'll try it out and get back you with the results

Just as a warning, you can get weird color blending effects by doing grayscale filtering operations on color-planes of an image. The Gaussian filter should not cause much of a problem, but you could find some strange colors around the borders between regions of different color.
