Measurement Tab

This tab is used to record measurements and view their details. The data on this screen is stored with each measurement record, along with settings and other information (see Application Output).

Start/Pause button

Clicking the Start button enables a live video feed from the CI-110 device or displays a dialog to select an image file (when the CI-110 is not physically attached). Clicking the Pause button stops the video feed and changes the button text back to Start.

Data/Edit button

Clicking the Data button measures the current image and displays statistics. Clicking the Edit button displays the options to manipulate the measurement image.

Save/Update button

This button saves the current image and measurements. The folder and format used to store measurements can be configured in the Advanced Settings tab. Review the Application Output section of this document for details on the data saved.

Previously saved images can be opened back up in the software and edited. When opening a previously saved image the Save button will change to Update. After making desired changes to the image, click on Update to save over the original image with the newly edited image.

Original / Measured Image Toggle button

In the upper right corner of the screen is a tiny preview of the measured image or original camera image. Clicking on this small circle toggles the image displayed between these two.

GPS Lock

This indicates if there is a GPS satellite lock on your current position. Records saved without a GPS Lock may store the wrong GPS location, or no GPS location. The text will toggle from a red “No” to green “Yes” when a GPS lock has been acquired. The CI-110 should be outside or near a window to get the fastest GPS lock.

Exposure

This feature is used to optimize the image exposure for accurate processing. The exposure should be adjusted so that a difference between leaf material and sky can be seen. It is recommended to always adjust the camera exposure first, before saving any images.

There are two modes for the camera exposure, automatic and manual. If outdoors, the automatic exposure feature should provide an accurate image for processing. If indoors or under low-light conditions, the manual exposure option allows the user to adjust the exposure and see the affect directly in the image.

Color Control

This feature is used to optimize the image colors for accurate processing. If needed, the color control gain and saturation levels can be adjusted to help render leaf elements as green and sky elements as blue.

Saturation describes the intensity of the color in the image. The gain will adjust the bright part of the image and is similar to the contrast control.
