Round feature detection and OCR could be a way forward here.

For example, see my recession detection (pipe cover) in a packaging product.

Thankyou! I am actually a senior student in college, and I am doing my senior now. I have no experience using LabView before, so I have to learn it when I do my design. Our project is about reading the year from different kind of coin. Could you tell me what steps are required for doing it? Like take a picture first, and then rotate the image? match?  I think I need to try to do it step by step. btw, is it possible for me to get help from you constantly for my project? I would appreciate!! 

Thank you!!

My best advice is to first go through the tutorials and examples to get comfortable in graphical programming.

Maybe your institution is a NI Academy? Check it out.

Check out the LabVIEW student edition pages and go through the tutorials.

Then you can go into the Machine Vision examples.

That's this forum for you. I'm just a mere drop of skill in the sea of competence found here.
