PROFILE: a user-configurable system for the measurements of angles and distances on pictures.
PROFILE is a user-configurable system to make series of predefined geometric measurements on various types of pictures. The primary use is for collecting data for statistical analysis. The computer-based method is much faster than manual measuring, effectively replacing the ruler and protractor traditionally used for this type of work with a digitizer. The results are available immediately as printed reports and as ASCII files which are easily imported by most database, spreadsheet and statistics programs for further study. The programs run on suitably equipped IBM and fully compatible personal computers.
