End face scan

The measured end faces of a log, in four views. The boundary traced here sets the diameter and area used everywhere else.

The four views

All four show the same face and the same measurements. They differ only in what is drawn.

Color — the face as a colour map

FP — ring structure with the fitted shape

Bound — the traced boundary as editable points

Editing the boundary

In Bound view the outline is drawn as a ring of points that can be dragged. In and Out move the whole boundary inward or outward. Save Boundary commits the edit; until it is saved the detected boundary stands. An edited boundary is recorded separately from the detected one, so the original remains available.

A status line reads Boundary: Auto or Boundary: Manual (unsaved). "(unsaved)" means the manual edit on screen differs from what is committed to the scan — it is still visible and can still be measured against, but Auto is what the optimizer will use until Save Boundary is tapped. Saving switches the label to Manual with no "(unsaved)" suffix, and the choice — Auto or Manual — is then saved with the scan and stands the next time it is opened.

When no end face is found

During the verification that follows an end capture, the app may find no end face in the photo, or find one lying outside the frame. There is then no detected boundary to accept, so the Bound view starts from a placeholder circle on the photo, and the status line, in orange, says what to do: "No boundary found — drag the handles onto the face", or, when the camera was not aimed at the face, "Camera was not pointed at the end face — drag the handles onto the face". The Color view shows the detector's probability map in place of a colour map.
