how can I read a template and differentiate if it is a pattern matching template or a geometric matching template?

[Arroyo]

Hey all,

I would like to know how can I read a template´s information to know if it is a pattern macthing or a geometric matching template? 

In my code, users provide templates and the algorithm must match them using pattern matching or geometric matching depending on the template.

At the moment I am doing it by including a P or a G in the name of the file, but I would like to avoid this and read the information from the file.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Esteban

Hey Esteban,

you can use the VI "IMAQ Is Vision Info Present 2 VI" to reice the information:

IMAQ Is Vision Info Present 2 VI - NI Vision 2011 for LabVIEW Help - National Instruments

Take a look at the attached VI
