Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, computer program products, and methods can determine a distance between a pair of markers removably coupled to a pair of non-adjacent joints on a track assembly of a track-type machine using imaging captured by a camera of a mobile electronic device. The determined distance between a pair of markers can be representative of a track pitch extension, which can be used to determine wear of the track assembly.
