Measuring
Chapter 6:
Measuring
Measurements can be conducted using video edge detection probes or using crosshairs. Measurements can
be limited to probing feature points, or can include the construction or creation of new features in addition
to probing. However measurements are conducted, the fundamental measurement process and the tools
required to perform measurements remain unchanged. Here’s what you’ll find in this chapter:
