Surface Area Calculation of Asymmetric/Axisymmetric Shapes Utilising Simple Image Processing and OpenCV

A novel technique is being developed to accurately measure the surface area of both axi-symmetric and asymmetric shapes using 2D images of those objects. The proposed method involves a simple camera configuring model that estimates the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera, including the optical/image centre, focal length, orientation, and location. By converting pixels to millimetres using a conversion ratio, the dimensions of different objects in the image can be determined. To maintain consistency across asymmetric objects, a quadrilateral approach is being employed. This technique provides a solution for measuring the surface area of irregular objects in today's automated environment.
