Researchers have developed RulerNet, a novel deep learning framework designed to accurately estimate the real-world scale of objects within images. This system reformulates ruler reading as a keypoint detection problem, utilizing geometric progression parameters to account for perspective distortions. RulerNet employs a mark-visibility-based annotation and training strategy, enhanced by a synthetic data generation pipeline leveraging ControlNet for realism, which allows for robust generalization across various ruler types and imaging conditions.
