Error -1074396077 (IMAQ Vision: Incompatible image type) after running IMAQ Mask

[XuanThuy]

I am attempting to process color picture of pellet. I want to exclude any particle that touches the edges of the color images. I created mask from original image and used this mask on the original color image to retain only the color particles that don't touch the boundary. The error occured  when I ran the IMAQ Mask. The error message is “Error -1074396077 (IMAQ Vision:  Incompatible image type)”. How can I fix it ?

I have picture and program as attached.

Hi

You get this error message when you pass an invalid image type to a function.

here you must pass an RGB mask . Use the IMAQ Cast Image function to do this

Hope this help

Hi XuanThuy,

The IMAQ Cast function is part of the Vision Development Module (VDM), under the Image Management Palette, as indicated by this document: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370281P-01/imaqvision/imaq_cast_image/. If you can't locate it and you indeed have the VDM, there may be an issue with the installation of this module. A similar issue has been encountered and resolved in this forum post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/can-t-find-IMAQ-cast-image-vi/td-p/340157. What version of the vision software are you using?

Thanks,

Dear Joseph-S and toto26,
