The medeaLAB image processing system can measure areas of objects such as leaves or seeds, irrespective of their shape. A surface can be measured pixel-accurately or even sub-pixel-accurately in an image, based on color or gray value differences. As with length measurement, calibration must be performed to convert the measured number of pixels into a metric unit.
