Overview and Applications
For high-quality analog color image acquisition at an affordable
price, National Instruments offers the NI 1411 Series, which
consists of PCI and PXI plug-in image acquisition devices that
accept analog video input from standard color or monochrome
cameras. These devices come with easy-to-use image acquisition
driver software. Unlike multimedia “frame grabbers”, the NI 1411
Series features increased image processing throughput, such as
on-the-fly color conversion to HSL and partial image acquisition
with programmable region of interest.
In addition, NI-IMAQ controls the NI
1411 digital I/O line.

Performance Gains with
Partial Image Acquisition
The NI 1411 Series includes features
that improve overall image acquisition
and image processing speed. You can

choose to acquire only a portion
of the image using the onboard
programmable ROI feature. You can configure the size of the
acquired image using Measurement & Automation Explorer, or use
the ROI tools in the NI-IMAQ driver software to transfer only a
subset of the image to PC memory for processing. Partial image
scanning results in fewer pixels to process. For example, using
partial image scanning, you can reduce a 640 by 480 image to a
400 by 400 image and increase your processing speed by
operating on 48 percent fewer pixels.
Real-Time Color Conversion
Real-time color conversion is especially useful for high-speed color
matching in industrial or scientific applications, even in varying
illumination. An example of HSL in action is using color to inspect
the presence of an object even though there are shadows and/or
reflections. Lighting variations do not affect the image (hue). Use
the powerful color matching functions in IMAQ Vision to locate
objects quickly and accurately with the onboard HSL conversion.
Easy-to-Use Driver Software
National Instruments NI-IMAQ driver level software offers the
most comprehensive software interface for image acquisition.
NI 1411 Series devices are shipped with the NI-IMAQ image
acquisition driver software and National Instruments
Measurement & Automation Explorer for easy configuration of
NTSC and PAL color cameras. Using NI-IMAQ, you can quickly and
easily start your application without having to program at the
register level. You can program your image acquisition application
in LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio.
Color Image Acquisition Performance Gains
with Onboard Decimation
Onboard decimation also provides image acquisition and
processing performance gains by allowing onboard scaling or
decimating of the image without using the PC processor. Onboard
decimation scales the image by removing every second, fourth, or
eighth pixel (powers of two only). By reducing the number of pixels
(decimation) on the IMAQ board, the system has fewer pixels to
process with the PC processor. If you remove every other pixel
using onboard decimation, the image size decreases by
50 percent, which speeds up your processing.

Hardware
PCI Interface
The PCI bus is the electrical interface for both the NI PCI-1411 and
NI PXI-1411. The National Instruments custom MITE ASIC for
interfacing to the PCI bus offers the highest image acquisition
performance available. The MITE ASIC can transfer data at a
maximum sustained rate of 100 Mbytes/s in master mode to
maximize the use of the available PCI bandwidth.
saturation, and luminance (HSL) image planes. Because the hue
plane is effective for analyzing images in which shadows and
lighting gradients are present, the NI 1411 Series makes inspection
systems more reliable. With these devices, industrial inspection
and scientific imaging developers can increase the reliability and
performance of numerous applications, including inspecting light
emitting diodes (LEDs), fabric and textiles, color paint and powder,
pharmaceutical blister packs, and difficult to light applications.
Onboard Memory
The NI 1411 Series has 16 MB of onboard memory, useful for
temporary storage of images being transferred to the PCI bus.
Color Pattern Matching
Use color pattern matching to locate quickly known reference
patterns, or fiducials, in a color image. With color pattern matching,
you create a model or template of an object. The search tool first
scans the image to match the color distribution, then scores the
match for shape. The score relates to how closely the model
matches the pattern found. You should use color pattern matching
to locate reference patterns that the color and spatial information in
the pattern fully describe. Color can often simplify a monochrome
problem by improving contrast or separation.
Trigger and Strobe
You can use the digital I/O line as an input to trigger image
acquisition or as an output to control solenoids, solid-state relays,
or strobes.
Programmable Gain and Offset
The NI 1411 Series has programmable gain and offset circuitry for
optimizing the input signal range.
