System and method for automatically measuring the dimensions of and identifying the type of exterior siding
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to;
selectively align edges of a reference object included within an image of a two-dimensional object with edges of the two-dimensional object to provide an aligned reference object;
calculate a first dimension of the two-dimensional object based upon a pixel dimension of the aligned reference object and a first number of pixels spanned by the first dimension of the two-dimensional object within the image; and
identify a product associated with the first dimension of the two-dimensional object.

Abstract
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.
