App to find dimensions of a item in a photo
« on: June 30, 2006, 11:01:13 pm »
alright i have this pic and i need to find out its length and such.  there is another item in the photo that i know the dimensions of so does anyone know of an app to use the dimensions of one item to determine those of the other.

i know this is assumes that the photo is taken correctly but im confident that its good enough for what im doing.

thanks.

A simple calculator will do.  Measure one in the photo, get the ratio of the photo size to the real size, apply that ratio to a measurement of the other object.  This assumes that the surface you are measuring of both objects is the same distance from the camera.
