TL;DR: In this article, the graduation consists of a number of straight division lines parallel to each other, these lines are used for measuring lengths in any units such as metres or inches. But this is not the case in this paper.
Abstract: This invention relates to scales for measuring lengths in any units such as metres or inches and has for its object to provide an improved scale of this character. In scales as at present constructed the graduation consists of a number of straight division lines parallel to each other, these...
TL;DR: In this paper, a calibration recording is made in which at least two 2D objects of known dimensions are attached to the surface, which is used to produce scaling factors for individual pixels in the photographic image.
Abstract: Method for measuring lengths and surfaces on 3D curved surfaces in which in addition to recording of an actual photograph of the object, a calibration recording is made in which at least two 2D objects of known dimensions are attached to the surface. This is used to produce scaling factors for individual pixels in the photographic image.
