4. Berry Count and Quality Control ????

Insight from the Youtube

We continue our work on berry count (strawberry flowers, blueberry fruit count on a plant / branch and blueberry quality control). Are you interested in similar functionality for raspberries? We experimented a little bit and we have discovered interesting moments in raspberry quality control

5. FREE Batch Processing of Photos ??

Insight from the Linkedin

If you need to process dozens or hundreds of photos collected with the Petiole Pro calibrating plate, and calculate leaf area or greenness on all your photos, we can help automate the process.

Why a small calibrating plate??

Because it's more convenient for measurements, takes up less space, and brings the same accuracy as the standard calibrating plate.?

You can see that we use the small calibrating plate extensively for quality assurance of seeds and berries. You can also use it for leaf area measurement. However, you can NOT measure greenness with it, so please use the standard calibrating plate for those needs.?

Print the small calibrating plate at 100% scale on any printer, and it's ready to be used.

Otherwise, if you recorded any video about Petiole or demonstrate how it works for your audience - please, let us know and we'll underscore your work!

Also, we would like to ask you about help. Can you give us a rate on Google Play? This is crucially important because more scientists will be technically able to find Petiole Pro for their research. Thank you!
