Measurement Converter description
Measurement Converter - an application that will help you convert one measurement to another similar measurement Although many things such as emotion and thought may be difficult to measure, some things are much easier to quantitize.

Measurement Converter software is designed to be an application that will help you convert one measurement to another similar measurement. Measurement Converter software is designed to be an application that will help you convert one measurement to another similar measurement.

Why people care so much about measurements and conversions still remain a mystery to one such as myself. I am convinced however that there could be a useful purpose for it. A recipe for example might be written in the metric system. Someone, having only cups, tablespoons, teaspoons and the like could find it distressing when attempting to follow such a recipe. Using a tool such as Measurement Converter would, in this unique particular situation, prove useful.

On the other hand, there are many situations where a tool such as Measurement Converter would not provide much help. Cooking over an open fire while camping could be a possible example where a tool such as Measurement Converter would not be very useful. Every time I went camping as a boy scout I was instructed to locate a current bush which would supposedly allow us to plug in any electrical device we may have brought.

To this day I have not found one yet. Seeing that a tool such as Measurement Converter generally runs on a computer - and a computer of course requires electricity, I believe a too such as Measurement Converter would not be very useful when cooking over an open fire while camping. This does not mean that a tool such as Measurement Converter is entirely useless.

Inquiring minds often pose questions that can only be answered by converting one measurement to another. I once heard of a rocket that did not make it into orbit simply because the programmers forgot to convert feet to meters. Of course that is just hearsay.

If it were true, however unlikely, then I would be inclined to reason that a tool such as Measurement Converter may have proved quite useful. It appears to me however, that whoever made such an error did it out of absent mindedness - and not out of ignorance

Bersoft Image Measurement is intended for measuring and analyzing digital images. Measurements are done by pointing and clicking, using angle, distance, perimeter, area, point and line measurement tools or in an automated way, when calculating statistics,curve fitting, pixel profile, object finding, and array/band analysis. Supports image acquisition from TWAIN devices and many different types of images, including DICOM files.

Bersoft Image Measurement (BIM) is created as a flexible tool for acquiring, measuring and analyzing digital images.

The measurements may be done by pointing and clicking or in an automated way, when doing statistical or analytical measurements.

BIM can load many different types of images, including DICOM files, and also supports image acquisition from most TWAIN scanners.

Angle, distance, perimeter, area, point and line measurements may be done using by using the tools in the Tools Palette.

Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements such as kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, nanometers, microns, cm, miles, etc,. for both linear and area measurements.

All manual measurements are written into a Data Sheet, where you also can enter and edit data by hand.

The measurements are drawn over a measurement layer, so the original image is not altered in any way.

For convenient further statistical analysis the Data Sheets results can be exported as CVS, HTML or ASCII file formats. They also can be send directly to Excel or copied and pasted to any other program.

The professional version of the program supports further image analysis capabilities as: Pixel profile, Array/band analysis, Object counting.

Statistical measurement can be done either on a selected image area, the full image, or on several images at once.

Count, mean, median, minimum, maximum, range, variance, standard deviation, standard error, coefficient of variation, skew, kurtosis and frequencies are supported.

Images can be visualized in different ways, using histograms (from images or selections), generating false color images, subtracting image backgrounds, merging images, adjusting brightness, gamma and contrast, inverting image colors, manipulating channels, applying spatial convolutions with user-defined convolution masks and morphing filters.

Limitations:

· 30 days trial

Set Measurement System is an AppleScript for QuarkXPress by Sal Soghoian that will will allow you to set the measurement sytem without having to dig through dialogs and pop-ups in Quark.

Completly freeware for personal use.

Jewish Measurement Conversions - a comprehensive set of Talmudical and Biblical conversions, for use with the (provided) Parens calculator.

Converts virtually all measurements in the Torah and Talmud to other Torah and Talmudical units, as well as to modern-day Metric and US units.

Provides 17 modes including seperate modes for Shitas Chazon Ish and Shitas HaRach Naeh.

Whats new in this release:

· Corrected a mistake in Talmudical Distances, where the conversion to meters was inaccurate.

Easy Measurement and Temperature Converter is the perfect tool for the student, the scientist, or just about anyone! Convert easily amongst many different SI and metric units at the touch of a key and the click of a mouse

Units of measurement for Ada library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and irregular measurement units are supported.

Shifted units like degrees Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are provided for all various irregular units.

Here are some key features of "Units of measurement for Ada":

· The type Unit denotes the dimension of a physical entity. The type Measure represents a dimensioned value;
· Mixed unit arithmetic. Values in SI (Le Système International dUnités) units can be mixed with irregular units (such as foot and yard) as long as the result is defined;
· Shifted unit support (a widely used instance of a shifted unit is degree of Celsius);
· The type Measure is generic, parameterized by a floating-point type. A non-generic version based on the type Float is also provided;
· String to Measure conversion supports as wide set of irregular units as possible.
· Currently the powers of the base unit components lie in the range -8..7. This limitation has an implementation reason (absence of 64-bit modular integers in many Ada compilers).

Whats New in This Release:

· The focus of this release is on GTK support.
· It provides an edit box widget for dimensioned values with a drop-down combo for unit selection.
· The widget can be constrained to a definite dimension.
· A tree view cell renderer of dimensioned values is provided, as well as a sample program for mapping values from one dimension to another.

MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool is a freeware tool designed to measure video quality. Supports different input formats (AVI, AVS, YUV, BMP) and metrics (PSNR, Delta, VQM, SSIM, MSU Blurring / Blocking Measure).

Features of "MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool":

· results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere),
· all metrics are visualized,
· comparative analysis (comparison of three files: original, and two other, for example processed by different codecs).


Program allow to answer on questions:
· One codec has more blurring than another. On what frames? Average mark?
· One codec has more blocking than another. On what frames? Average mark?
· One codec has more lower quality than another. On what frames? Average mark in PSNR, VQM, SSIM?

Correspondent "bad frames" are saved automatically into BMP files.

Supported video formats:

*.AVI
*.AVS
*.YUV (scientific)
*.BMP (RGB24)
Supported metrics (and color spaces):
PSNR (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B) - most popular
Delta (Y,U,V,L, R,G,B)
MSAD (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B)
MSE (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B)
SSIM (Y) - new
VQM (Y) - new
MSU Blurring (Y,U,V) - new
MSU Blocking (Y,U,V) - new

Here are some key features of "MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool":

· Results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere)
· All metrics are visualized (very useful for codec and filter debugging)
· Main feature for codec lovers: comparative analysis (!!!) Now everybody in 5 minutes is able to demonstrate that one codec is better than another! Its easy:
· Set "comparative analysis" and select original, and sequences after compression with codec A and codec B (recommended more than 10000 frames).
· Select metric (recommended Y-PSNR)
· Select "Save bad frames" (in "Advanced" dialog you could specify for which sequence value of the metric must be greater) - pairs of frames with maximum metric difference (A>B) will be detected and saved.
· Press "Process", find output frames and select best pairs
· Upload frames to your favorite forum.
· Done!
· If you want to prove, that codec B is better than A just swap compressed files in metric form fields. :) Codec and filter developers can use this feature for tuning (fast codec/filter update testing).
