photoLA

This is a library and a set of executable scripts to perform estimates of leaf area from photographs of leaves with a reference object with known area.

To install and run this package, OpenCV version 3.1 or higher is required. Unfortunately due the complexity to package it automatically, OpenCV has to be installed separatedly.

As of now, this package is fairly minimal and restrict to a single approach. Howerver, it does not mean that it won't be further updated.

Small bugs are expected, so if you find any, please report to the author.

This is still a work in progress, requiring some polishing to improve user-friendliness, but the core idea is sound and effective.

Next steps include the addition of tutorials and extensive documentation to assist on the usage.

Alternativelly, you can go to http://opencv.org to find out different options to install it.
