IMAQ Vision is an image acquisition, processing, and analysis library of 
more than 200 functions for grayscale, color, and binary image display, 
image processing, pattern matching, shape matching, blob analysis, 
gauging, and measurement.

For unique image processing, you can use IMAQ Vision functions 
individually or in combination. With IMAQ Vision you can acquire, 
display, manipulate, and store images as well as perform image analysis, 
processing, and interpretation. Using IMAQ Vision, imaging novices and 
experts can program the most basic or complicated image applications 
without knowledge of any algorithm implementations.

IMAQ Vision is available for LabVIEW and Measurement Studio, which 
includes support for LabWindows/CVI, Visual C++, and Visual Basic.

IMAQ Vision Builder is an interactive prototyping tool for machine vision 
and scientific imaging developers. With IMAQ Vision Builder, you can 
prototype vision software quickly or test how various vision image 
processing functions work.

As shown in Figure 1-3, IMAQ Vision Builder generates a Builder file, 
which is a text description containing a recipe of the machine vision 
and image processing functions. This Builder file provides a guide you can 
use for developing applications into any development environment, such as 
LabWindows/CVI or Visual Basic, using the IMAQ Vision machine vision 
and image processing libraries. Using the LabVIEW VI creation wizard, 
you can create a LabVIEW VI that performs the prototype that you created 
in IMAQ Vision Builder.
