I'm working on building a camera microscope specifically for quantitative image measurement/metrology. My setup comprises a Basler industrial camera with a telecentric lens and a telecentric illuminator for backlighting, which is to say that edge constrast and SNR will be very high. I need software to acquire images, process them, and then allow the user to add measurement elements. I think this should be pretty easy to do in OpenCV. I'm trying to replicate the software from the Keyence VHX, which will do automatic line/radius fitting with various "elements" that be dragged around the image in the GUI. I've done a bit of research already, and through my limited coding ability and using ChatGPT, I've made a quick demo program with OpenCV that does sort of what I want. It needs to be expanded with some additional features to get it to be useable/qualifiable. Specfically, calibration features (pixels to mm using a standard gauge) and additional features for the edge detection such as threshold, search direction, and detection type (aka light-to-dark or dark-to-light). I think it is pretty straightforward and probably doesn't utilize even close to the full capability of OpenCV. Is this something you can help with?
