Image processing based on seamless integration technology between LabVIEW and MATLAB

The approach by using MATLAB Script node or directly calling MATLAB ActiveX server in LabVIEW is commonly used to realize the hybrid programming so as to expand the scientific computing ability of LabVIEW. MATLAB engine must be running in this way and that results in lower perform efficiency. The generation process of the COM component is analyzed in this paper, then the method of COM components directly called by LabVIEW is introduced in which the MATLAB programs can been rapidly run without MATLAB operating environment. The validity have been conformed in the digital image acquisition and processing system. This approach is characterized by the fully using two advantages of the LabVIEW better hardware support, rapid configuration and MATLAB powerful computing for complex data, which perfects the LabVIEW Machine Vision and Image processing functions and has a high application value in establishing a robot system with visual function.
