Using Bayer-encoded images in Vision Builder for Automated Inspection and Vision Assistant

Primary Software: Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
Primary Software Version: 2.6.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am using NI-IMAQ For 1394 Cameras or NI-IMAQdx to acquire Bayer-encoded images from my camera. How do I get the decoded color images into Vision Builder for Automated Inspection or Vision Assistant?

Solution:
If you set up the Bayer-decoding for your camera in the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), then Vision Builder For Automated Inspection and Vision Assistant will acquire the decoded color images.

Complete the following steps to set up the Bayer-decoding using MAX:

1. Close Vision Builder AI or Vision Assistant
2. Launch MAX.
3. In the MAX Configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces.
4. Expand NI-IMAQdx or NI-IMAQ IEEE 1394 Devices.
5. Click the camera name to select the appropriate camera.
6. Click the Bayer Color tab.
7. Select the appropriate Bayer pattern using the Bayer Pattern control.
8. Click Save to save the current configuration. These settings become the default settings for the camera.
9. Close MAX.
10. Launch Vision Builder AI or Vision Assistant and continue your application.
    
    Note: If the Bayer pattern is defined by the camera, you will not be able to adjust the Bayer pattern using MAX

If you need help determining the Bayer pattern and parameters, use the White Balancing Utility located in Start>>Programs>>National Instruments>>Vision>>White Balancing Utility.
