Welcome to the Leaf Area Calculator, an open-source project designed to make plant physiology research easier with automated precision. This Python application effortlessly generates a simple table, quantifying the area of scanned leaves in square centimeters (cm^2), offering a blend of technology and nature to simplify your research needs.
- Open Source: Dive into our code, contribute, and collaborate.
- User-Friendly: Simply input a folder with your scanned leaf images, and let our app do the rest.
- Precision: Leveraging advanced OpenCV algorithms, our app provides accurate area measurements, vital for your research.
Maximize the potential of the Leaf Area Calculator with these easy steps:
- Prepare Your Leaves: Place each leaf on a plain white piece of paper, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Scan: Digitally scan your prepared leaves, capturing their essence for analysis.
- Input: Input the folder containing your scanned images into the application.
- Background: The white paper serves as a crucial contrast background. Only use plain white paper without any other objects or materials present.
- Accuracy: The app distinguishes leaf areas by contrasting against the white background. Ensure no other items are on the paper to avoid inaccurate measurements.
This script is open for everyone, aiming to help researchers, students, and hobbyists alike.
Open de .exe file, or run the .py script. It will appear a GUI with two inputs: The folder dir containing you well scanned images and the directory where you want to save your .csv file
REMEMBER TO FINISH YOUR DIRECTORY WITH .CSV such as "C:/your/path/file.csv"
That's it! Waste no more time doing each image by hand.
