Abstract :Colorimetry is of paramount importance to the agricultural industry. Colorimetry refers to the processing of agricultural products for consumer needs from a marketing point of view, and therefore the agricultural industry spends a lot of money and time classifying each product. In the past, agricultural professionals had to use program codes that are difficult to learn, and even the most basic image analysis for agricultural product classification required mastering different program libraries. Today, the LabVIEW platform offers a flexible, fast, easy-to-learn, and complete image analysis infrastructure with various useful modules. For this reason, in this study, a method analysis for color perception with a simple USB webcam and software developed for real-time color analysis on the LabVIEW platform is presented and its success in the basic color analysis is tried to be revealed. The basic application developed for this purpose in LabVIEW v2019 using NI Vision Development Module v19 and NI IMAQ v19 modules. The basic fact that is the LabVIEW application is the idea that LabVIEW can only be analyzed with expensive IEEE 1394, but it should be known that these analyzes can be done with USB webcams. For this purpose, the application includes a USB webcam driver that can be stacked seamlessly. USB Webcam and colorimeter measurement-based results of ƔR factors for each of RGB color channels are 1.161232, 0.506287, 0.432229; ƔG factors for each of RGB color channels are 0.519619, 1.025383, 1.201444; at last ƔB factors for each of RGB color channels are 0.600362, 0.714016, 1.413406, respectively.Keywords : Color recognition, Colorimeter, Real-time measurement, Webcam, LabVIEW
