Measure distances via video image

No more handling long measuring tapes: Position a reference object (e.g., a 1m yardstick or a gymnastics mat) in the image and read the distance with a click.

Your Usecase & Solution

Efficient measurement at track and field stations: Take the help of the camera, calibrate the image via a simple reference object (like a 1m wooden yardstick or a gymnastics mat) and tap the landing point on the screen. The app calculates the distance down to the centimeter.

How it works in 3 steps

1

Place yardstick or mat as reference

2

Record attempt and pause on display

3

Tap landing point & save result

The time-consuming rolling, laying, and reading of long measuring tapes at throw or jump installations blocks valuable sports lessons. With the Camera Measurement Tool, you measure performance contactlessly.

Flexible Calibration Options

Use standard objects in the gym for precise scaling:

1m Reference (Yardstick)

Simply place a standard wooden yardstick flat on the ground parallel to the measurement direction for a linear 1D scaling.

Large Rectangle (e.g. Gymnastics Mat)

Use a standardized soft floor mat or gym floor markings as a reliable 2D area reference.

Contactless, Fast & Precise

Optimize your measurement processes:

Touch Measurement

Tap the landing print directly on the freeze frame. The app calculates the distance based on the pixel ratios.

Direct Grade Sync

Assign the measured performance directly to a student. The app immediately compares it with the corresponding grading table.
