IMAQ edge find

[Selp]

I have a system that will be scanning a specific area of a solar cell (see good-broken.jpg). The region of interest (see region of interest.jpg) is what I would like for  an IMAQ edge find to operate. The dark area in the middle doesnt allow for accurate readings, so I would like to have the system not scan that specific region. But it is not a big issue of it stays.

Essentially, I would like to have a pixel intensity meter in the region of activity. By having a IMAQ edge find locate the edges of the solar cell and scan the intensity values within it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks you

Attached is a VI that filters the solar cell's edges.  This isn't perfect, but you can use the resulting object centers and bounding boxes to define the ROI you need.
