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; and

    identify a siding product associated with the first dimension of the siding sample.
