Measuring

With these tools, you can perform standard measurements:

Common Use Cases

Use this overview to find the right tool for basic measuring based on object features. Keep in mind that for measuring regions of interest (ROI), that are provided by other tools, the category Combined Measuring or Postprocessing might be more useful.

Task	Tool	Purpose
Find circles in an image to measure them.	Measure Circle	Measure circles, their center point, and radius. The tool also returns the edge that was used for establishing a circle and the shape quality of the circular ROI based on those edges. The tool is able to return results even if the image does not contain a complete circle with a smooth edge.
Find edges and lines in an image to measure them.	Measure Longest Edge Segment Measure Longest Line Segment Measure Oriented Edge Segment	Measure longest edge and line segments in objects that may not be smooth. The resulting ROI can be used in the tools Measure Circle to Segment, Measure Segment to Point, and Measure Segment to Segment. The tools also measure the "Segment Length" and the "Segment Orientation" in relation to the virtual horizontal line. Measure Oriented Edge Segment also returns the edges that were used for establishing the segment and the completeness of the segment ROI based on those edges. The tools are able to return a segment ROI even if the image does not contain a complete or smooth edge or line.
Find edge pairs in an image to measure them.	Measure Opposite Edges Measure Parallel Edges	Measure the distance between parallel or nonparallel edges. The edges can belong to the same or different objects. For parallel edges the exact width will be computed, for angled edges the average distance. This tool also returns the edges that could be found based on the parameters as segment ROI.
Find serrated edges in an image to measure the outliers above and below the baseline.	Measure Outliers	Measure a segment ROI that is fitted to an edge which contains irregularities (outliers). The tool also returns additional information about the position and distance of the most extreme outliers above and below the fitted segment.
Find parallel edges in an image to measure the distance between them.	Measure Parallel Edges	Measure the width between two parallel edges. The tool also returns the parallel edges that could be found as segment ROI and a rectangular ROI based on the found edges.
Find repeated parallel edges to measure their distances.	Measure Row Spacing	Get information about the row spacing in an object containing multiple parallel edges with equal or unequal widths and distances. This tool also returns the parallel edges that could be found based on the parameters.

Purpose

Find circles in an image to measure them.

Measure Circle

Measure circles, their center point, and radius. The tool also returns the edge that was used for establishing a circle and the shape quality of the circular ROI based on those edges.

The tool is able to return results even if the image does not contain a complete circle with a smooth edge.

Find edges and lines in an image to measure them.

Measure Longest Edge Segment

Measure Longest Line Segment

Measure Oriented Edge Segment

Measure longest edge and line segments in objects that may not be smooth. The resulting ROI can be used in the tools Measure Circle to Segment, Measure Segment to Point, and Measure Segment to Segment. The tools also measure the "Segment Length" and the "Segment Orientation" in relation to the virtual horizontal line.

Measure Oriented Edge Segment also returns the edges that were used for establishing the segment and the completeness of the segment ROI based on those edges.

The tools are able to return a segment ROI even if the image does not contain a complete or smooth edge or line.

Find edge pairs in an image to measure them.

Measure Opposite Edges

Measure Parallel Edges

Measure the distance between parallel or nonparallel edges. The edges can belong to the same or different objects. For parallel edges the exact width will be computed, for angled edges the average distance. This tool also returns the edges that could be found based on the parameters as segment ROI.

Find serrated edges in an image to measure the outliers above and below the baseline.

Measure Outliers

Measure a segment ROI that is fitted to an edge which contains irregularities (outliers). The tool also returns additional information about the position and distance of the most extreme outliers above and below the fitted segment.

Find parallel edges in an image to measure the distance between them.

Measure Parallel Edges

Measure the width between two parallel edges. The tool also returns the parallel edges that could be found as segment ROI and a rectangular ROI based on the found edges.

Find repeated parallel edges to measure their distances.

Measure Row Spacing

Get information about the row spacing in an object containing multiple parallel edges with equal or unequal widths and distances. This tool also returns the parallel edges that could be found based on the parameters.
