Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining dimensions of siding, comprising: determining, using one or more processors, 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; adjusting an orientation of the image if the reference object is not aligned with the edges of the siding sample in the image; determining, using one or more processors, 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; determining, using one or more processors, a first and second number of pixels disposed between the first and second pair of points, respectively; determining, using one or more processors, the first length measurement based on the pixel-to-length ratio and the first number of pixels; determining, using one or more processors, the second length measurement based on the pixel-to-length ratio and the second number of pixels; and identifying, using one or more processors, a siding product associated with the first and second length measurements.
