How it Works
​The CI 202 measures length, width, area, and perimeter, and calculates ratio and shape factor once a measurement is completed.Each time the control unit detects that the laser scanner has progressed 1 mm, the computer checks to see if the width reading is non-zero. If the width measurement is non-zero, the computer takes the following actions:
  • The length measurement is increased by 1 mm.
  • The width measurement is added to the area accumulator.
  • If the width measurement is greater than the currently stored maximum width, the maximum width is updated.
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the leaf length to its maximum width:Shape factor is the ratio of the leaf area to the leaf perimeter, corrected so that the shape factor of a circle is equal to 1:
