Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Images are used frequently in plant phenotyping to capture measurements. This chapter offers a repeatable method for capturing measurements of plant parts in field or laboratory settings using a variety of camera styles (cellular phone, DLSR) with the addition of a printed calibration pattern. The method is based on calibrating the camera using information available from the EXIF tags from the image, as well as visual information from the pattern. Code and a dataset is provided for testing, as well as description of accuracy verification techniques using an artifact. This method allows for the capture of data from different cameras and environments, and assessment on the same physical scale.
