FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What are the hardware requirements?

The software runs on standard PCs with Windows XP SP3 or newer. For a high screen resolution a current computer system (min. Intel Pentium-III CPU, 600 MHz) and at least 256 MB of memory is recommended. The main program windows are scalable and support high image display resolution.

Are my images suitable for measurement?

A pre-requisite for a measurement is to choose a distortion-free image. Ideally, images with a known scale, or with a characteristic of known length within the image which can determine the graphical scale should be selected.

Currently, only images with a maximum resolution of 8192 pixels in either width or height are supported (this roughly equals 53 megapixels for non-widescreen cameras or 37 megapixels for widescreen cameras).

Which image formats are supported?

In the current program version, the most common image formats, for example,

• BMP (Windows/OS2 bitmap)
• JPG (JPEG)
• PNG (Portable Network Graphic)
• TIF (Tagged Image File Format)

are supported.
