Abstract
A method is provided for measuring distances between locations in an image. The method includes finding a position of a full model using sub-models to find a plurality of locations in an image, then labeling the locations and determining distances using the labels. The method improves upon conventional gauging techniques by exploiting information typically provided by a sub-model based shape finder so as to eliminate one or more computationally intensive applications of one or more vision tools. More specifically, the features of the found instance of the model that are used as a basis for performing measurements are those features that have already been accurately located by the sub-model based shape finder.
