This paper looks into an economical way to bring machine vision to smartphones and basic camera modules without any major setup using basic image processing techniques. This technique can be used to measure the dimensions of random objects as well as be used to detect particular objects in an image. A single camera module can be used for both purposes i.e. measure objects whose image distance is known and measure dimensions of objects whose image distance needs to be calculated, making the process efficient, economical and portable. We look into a new area where machine vision can aid the general population and be affordable to small scale industries as well. Index Terms-Machine vision, image processing, quality assurance, dimension calculation, portability.12 12Use a standard image as a reference image, we can find the distance of an arbitrary image by scaling it till LHS and RHS are equal. Given the distance. This is an accurate method computer science. He is currently researching in algorithms and mobile computing.Mr. Murali has won awards for his research work at
