MeasureCamera uses your iPhones camera to measure things. Just make sure theres a credit card sized card in the photo, and MeasureCamera will try to find the card and display measurements on the screen, so you can find the size of anything in the photo.
Use MeasureCamera to find the width, height, and length of anything that you can take a photo of.
Features:
- Auto-detection of credit cards in photos.
- Choose US or Metric units if you dont like the default, (which will try to choose for you).
- Movable measurement grid, (tap and hold to move the grid).
Hints:
- The credit card should be a solid color, or have a solid border. If its two colors it looks like two shapes to MeasureCamera
- If MeasureCamera is having trouble detecting a credit card, try to put it on a contrasting background.
- The credit card doesnt have to be inside of the object youre trying to measure, but its best if its on the same plane as the object, (so, dont put the card closer to your phone than the thing youre trying to measure).
- Try to take the photo as straight-on to the card and the thing youre measuring as possible.
- If youre having trouble measuring a small object, try turning your card over. MeasureCamera can recognize the magnetic stripe on many credit cards even it it cant recognize the whole card.
- You dont *have* to use a credit card, any credit-card shaped card will work, (the screenshots have my Safeway card!)
Notes on accuracy:
If the thing youre trying to measure is much larger than a credit card your measurement will be less accurate. For example, measuring a ship might not work too well. Measuring things a few centimeters/inches long to a few meters/feet long will work best.
