Learn Computer Vision and Image Processing in LabVIEW

Book excerpt: "Learning the fundamentals of image processing puts a powerful and very useful tool at your fingertips. Learning computer vision in LabVIEW is easy to learn, has excellent documentation, and is the base for prototyping all types of vision-based algorithms. Jobs in image processing are plentiful, and being able to learn computer and machine vision will give you a strong background to more easily pick up other computer vision tools such as OpenCV, Matlab, SimpleCV and so on. Suitable for beginning programmers, through this course of 26 lectures and over 4 hours of content, you'll learn all about computer vision and establish a strong understanding of the concept behind image processing algorithms. Each chapter closes with exercises in which you will develop your own vision-based apps, putting your new learned skills into practical use immediately. Starting with the installation of the LabVIEW Vision Development Toolkit, this course will take you through the main and fundamental image processing tools used in industry and research."--Resource description page.
