High-quality image captures in the face of lighting variations are no problem for the IMAQ PCI-1411 color image acquisition board. The unit offers machine-vision developers the benefit of real-time color conversion of NTSC, PAL and S-Video formats to the hue, saturation and luminance image planes. Because the hue plane is effective for analyzing images where shadows and lighting gradients are present, the board is said to make inspection systems more reliable.The board comes with NI-IMAQ driver-level software, which offers a comprehensive software interface for image acquisition. With the software, vision system developers can quickly and easily start applications without having to program at the register level. Applications include inspection of LEDs, fabrics, paints, and powders.
