An issue in Compare Golden Template in for loop (vision)

[ASalcedo]

Hi to all,

 

First of all thanks a lot for reading this post and being able to help.

 

I am trying to use Imaq Compare Golden Template vi in a for loop.

I am trying to do the next:

 

1- I have 3 templates and 1 image inspection.

2- The templates are in the image inspection. So image that the image inspection is an image with a big 1 2 3 numbers. So the templates are 1, then 2, and then 3. An for loop has 3 iterations.

3- In each iteration I pass a template, with IMAQ pattern matching vi template is found in an image (getting bounding box) and then do the compare golden template to get the defects (differences between template and image).

 

I am doing the program based on this example "LabVIEW\examples\Vision\Golden Template Comparison\Golden Template Inspection.vi"

 

My program is the next:

 

In the program I have three images (Cam1_PROD_display, Cam1_PROD_display2, Cam1_PROD_display3) with defects drawn in each templates, I mean, defects in template 1 are drawn in Cam1_PROD_display, defects in template 2 are drawn in Cam1_PROD_display2, defects in template 3 are drawn in Cam1_PROD_display3. Something like this:

 

-Templates are three (1, 2, 3):

 

- And the displays Cam1_PROD_display, Cam1_PROD_display2, Cam1_PROD_display3 show the next in each display (with defects in red):

 

- But I want just one display which shows all defects in one image like this:

 

How can I do that with the code that I have?

 

I think that I have to do some operations (merge) of the three displays in one.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot.
