Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:41:16 +0000

Camera measure: Pie+ is a free simple and useful telemeter tool for Android OS that helps you to measure ratio, the relative size of objects or to split objects into equal pieces. You can also use it to measure out parts of the whole objects or volumes and estimate parts ratio accurately.

The application is easy and intuitive to use: point your camera at an object and use touch screen to measure. It also has built-in help menu with a short explanation how to use it.

You can use this App in different situations. For example you can cut a pie, pizza or something else in equal parts or portions. Sometimes it is difficult to do by sight especially if you need odd number of pieces (5,7 or 9). It can be also helpful while cooking to measure out certain part of the volume, e.g. 1/3 glass, or cut something with a certain ratio.

This App can be used in every situation where the relative measurement is important:

- you learn to draw and you want to measure exactly part ratios of an object and transfer them onto canvas or paper. The App can also help you to draw object proportions correctly.
- you want to find relative position on a wall for your pictures, e.g. center of the wall or 1/3 wall from a ceiling.
- you can also use the App as a woodworking or carpeting tool to lay off relative distances from edges.
- you can also use it for garden planning for relative measurements.

If you want to measure absolute distance between two points try our app Telemeter or try our camera measure application Partometer that gives results with mm accuracy.

Partometer3D is a handy tool for object dimensions measurements. It can be used as a ruler or tape measure, or remote measurement device. This app allows user to make measurements in any direction and plane in 3D space.

The distances and object size can also be measured by Partometer App, but Partometer3D has no constrains on the camera position relative to the measured object.

The measurement plane / object plane don't have to be parallel to the camera plane.
It expands number of situations where application can be used. For example, big objects now can be measured by taking a picture from the side, objects and distances that are difficult to reach can be measured as well.

Partometer3D have the same application area as Partometer, but gives you more flexibility and power. Angle Mode can be used for roof angle measurements. This data can be used in SolarMeter app for solar energy calculations.
It has following important and distinctive features:

- measure in any selected plane in 3D space
- Length, Angle, Area Modes
- add/delete any number of measurement/ruler lines
- values assigned to each ruler line
- measure objects in different directions
- save and share you measurement
- find object ratios, if you don't not need absolute measurements
- compare object parts to each other
- use custom and predefined reference objects
- automatic reference object fine alignment using image processing
- reset reference object alignment by LONG TOUCH on auto alignment button

Partometer3D uses a phone/tablet camera and any available object with known size as a reference to perform measurement. To define the measurement plane a rectangular object (sheet of paper, credit card, custom object) is used. Image processing is used for automatic fine alignment with the reference object.

The App shows measurement results in different units: meters, millimeters, centimeters, feet, inches based on user settings. It also calculate dimensions of the object in relative units with respect to the reference object (ROL).

There is an option to make a picture and work with the still image instead of live camera view. Picture Load feature is also implemented to work with any picture from your photo gallery. Zoom View feature helps to align object boundaries accurately.

Partomter3D can be very useful if you need to measure bigger distances on the plane, where the simple ruler or tape is difficult to apply. All you need to do in this case is to place a rectangular object (credit card or sheet of paper) on the measurement plane,
make sure that the object of interest fits into the camera view and make measurements.
