S shashkiranr Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 18, 2016 #1 Hi All, I just wanted to know if it is possible to measure the length of an object in a image by selecting reference scale present in the image. Can we measure the pixel distance from one point to another and apply that to the main selected object. The below image will suggest what I am looking for. If you have any suggestions or how to go about it, kindly let me know. Best, SK

Both should be in the same distance from the camera. For example in this case you can measure the person head and assume that it is about 20cm. From this you can calculate the fish length. Upvote 0
