System and method for automatically measuring the dimensions of and identifying the type of exterior siding

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed for determining a pixel-to-length ratio between a number of pixels disposed over a predetermined length of a reference object within an image of a siding sample and the predetermined length of the reference object. A first and second distance between respective first and second pairs of points within the image corresponding to respective first and second length measurements of the siding sample are determined, as well as a first and second number of pixels disposed between the first and second pair of points, respectively. Furthermore, the method, system, and computer readable medium disclose determining the first length measurement based on the pixel-to-length ratio and the first number of pixels, determining the second length measurement based on the pixel-to-length ratio and the second number of pixels, and identifying a siding product associated with the first and second length measurements.

1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
execute the computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to analyze an image of a siding sample including a reference object;selectively align edges of the reference object within the image of the siding sample with edges of the siding sample when it is determined that an orientation of the reference object needs to be adjusted;measure a dimension of the reference object in terms of pixels, the measurement being one of (i) the dimension of the reference object after being aligned, if the orientation of the reference object needs to be adjusted, or (ii) the dimension of the reference object without being aligned, if the orientation of the reference object does not need to be adjusted;measure a first dimension of the siding sample based upon the dimension of the reference object in terms of pixels and a first number of pixels spanned by the first dimension of the siding sample within the image of the siding sample; andidentify a siding product associated with the first dimension of the siding sample.
