Photo Analysis Using Images to Extract Information
What is Digital Image Analysis? In Photo Analysis you edit and manipulate a image to extract information from it. REMEMBER: Start with an image—end with an answer
What is Image J? • Image J is a computer program in which you can edit and extract information from digital photos.
How to Use Image J • Step 1: Determine what you want to measure. (length of a road, area of a building etc.)

Applications of Photo Analysis • Measuring distances • Determining area • Urban planning (where to put roads, sewage, and drains) • Astronomy • Medical Applications • Photo Analysis can be used in many areas to determine certain information by only looking at a picture. In a sense a picture really is worth a thousand words.
