ASSESS 2.0: Image Analysis Software for Plant Disease Quantification
NEW!
By Lakhdar Lamari
Assess
2.0 quantifies and
measures plant diseases quickly and accurately at a fraction of
the cost of general image analysis software.
Watch the new
ASSESS 2.0 Demonstration Video that shows all the new and enhanced features.
What’s NEW in Assess
2.0?
● Automatic measurement of many plant disease lesions
– No matter who measures the disease lesions, the result will always be the
same.
●
Automatic measurement of ground cover
– Agronomists and those
interested in measuring ground cover can do so with a single click of the mouse.
●
Automatic recognition and percent-disease measurement of
individual leaves on the same image - This new feature is a real time-saver. You can scan many
leaves on the same screen and obtain a disease measurement for each leaf with
one click of the mouse.
●
Simple calibration – Images scanned in Assess
2.0 no longer require calibration. Additionally, if the resolution of an
image is known (dpi), the user simply enters the values into Assess
2.0. Physical units of measure can now be converted in Assess
2.0. You can calibrate an image in inches and later select one of 10 units
without any calibration.
●
Support for all standard and many non-standard file formats for reading
and writing – Assess
2.0 can handle over 60 file formats, including several RAW formats for
digital cameras. No need to convert images using other software.
●
Scanner interface
Quickly
and easily quantify disease symptoms on plants with Assess 2.0: Image Analysis Software for Plant Disease
Quantification. Rapid measurement of leaf area, percent disease, root
length, lesion count, percent ground cover, and applications are made simple
with this versatile and affordable software. Assess
2.0 introduces automatic measurement (user-independent) of many plant
diseases and ground cover, to make disease quantification fast, easy, reliable,
and reproducible. Assess 2.0
can also be used as an interactive laboratory tool for real-time length and area
measurements of anything that can be imaged (scanned, digital photographs,
microscopy, etc.).
The
intuitive Windows-based interface makes image analysis and plant disease
quantification simple. Assess
2.0 is hardware-independent, requiring only a computer with a 32-bit
computer operating system. The program supports Twain-compliant imaging devices
such as scanners, frame grabbers, or digital cameras for image acquisition,
although images can be imported from any computer drive, CD, network or other
applications. Assess 2.0
supports all standard graphic file formats and most non-standard formats.
Accompanied by a textbook-quality user manual with nineteen easy-to-follow
tutorials, Assess 2.0 makes
learning and training fascinating and fun. Automated installation is
hassle-free, allowing users to start working on plant disease quantification
immediately. Optimized for use in plant pathology and agronomy, this
revolutionary tool produces invaluable results for plant pathologists,
agronomists, plant breeders, horticultural scientists and anyone needing to
analyze, quantify and measure plants and plant diseases.
What’s ENHANCED in Assess
2.0?
●
Easy and intuitive user interface
●
Rapid measurement of area, percent disease, percent ground
cover, lesion count and root length
●
Real-time user interactive tool for area, length, and angle
measurement
Assess
2.0 can be used as a
real-time digital tool for the measurement of area and lengths. This is a very
fast way to measure areas of traced objects, lengths of straight lines, or
arbitrarily-shaped curves (such as hyphae and roots).
●
Image acquisition from any Twain-compliant device including
scanners, digital cameras, and frame grabbers
●
Simple macro utility and language to automate tasks and
perform batch processing
Requirements: 32-bit Windows Operating System (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, or Vista).
