Camera picture rotation on LabVIEW

FIRST General Forum

Is there any way to rotate the camera image on LabVIEW. Our camera is positioned on its side

The Axis 206 camera itself has the ability to rotate its output, but only in 180 degree increments. I think the M1011 can do 90 degrees, but I’m not sure. Which one are you using?

You don’t mention whether the rotation is for driver sanity or for processing, but as with any operation on images, pay attention to the CPU cost. If you want this for the dashboard, perhaps you should rotate it in the dashboard code so that the cRIO isn’t involved. If the M1011 does support 90 degree increments, that is cool because it will be done in HW.

If it is being done for processing, you should be able to choose your coordinate system for operations such that it has no additional cost.

We are using the Axis 206. How would i rotate the output?

There is a camera property for camera rotation, but it apparently didn’t make it into the interface. If you log into the camera or use vision assistant, you can set the angle, but on the 206, it is definitely either 0 or 180.
