So for my senior design project in electrical engineering my group and I are designing an inspection system using twinCAT3 as the basis of the brains. I personally up until this point have not done anything image processing wise or anything in TwinCAT3 up until this point. The mechanical engineers in my group have and decided it was best to base our project around the Hough circle transform for detection of a circular metal clamp. I am having difficulties implementing the Hough circle transform in TwinCAT3 (they have previously done it in Matlab and simulink)as well as importing images to test before the GiGe camera and PC come in from ordering. I currently have the images I would like to test in an image pool under GVL but using the command ImagePool.TestImage (ID for image is TestImage and the image pool is named ImagePool) throws the error that ImagePool needs to be instantiated to access and that the identifier TestImage is not defined which I assume is because it is declared in ImagePool which isn't being accessed and I am unsure why or how to access the FB ImagePool.
Please help as I am brand new to TwinCAT3 and image processing.
