Learn How to Measure Land from a Map Using Image Meter
Firstly
Step 1: Download the App
Go to Google Play Store or App Store.
Search for: ImageMeter.
Install the app (you can buy the Pro version if you wish, but the free version also offers a lot).
Step 2: Prepare or Collect the Land Map
You can use a Mouza map, Sheet map, a hand-drawn map, or a scanned copy of the land.
Use your mobile camera to take a clear and straight picture of the map. Ensure the picture isn't crooked and the lines are straight.
Step 3: Open the ImageMeter App
Open the app.
Tap the
+sign at the bottom.Select "Import image from gallery" to add your map picture.
Step 4: Scale Calibration (Setting the Measurement Ratio)
This is the most crucial step. Here, you'll tell the app, "This line in the picture is actually X feet in reality."
For example:
Suppose a road in the picture is actually 100 feet in reality.
Tap on that line.
Select "Add Reference Dimension."
Tap on both ends of the line to draw a straight line.
Then set "This is 100 feet."
Now the app will understand: 1 cm in this picture = 10 feet (for example).
From now on, all lines you draw will be measured according to this scale.
Step 5: Measure Around the Land
Select the "Add dimension" tool.
Tap on the lines for the North, South, East, and West sides of the land to take measurements.
The app will display measurements like: 60 ft, 40 ft, and so on.
Tip: Even if the land is triangular or irregular, you can measure it using multiple lines.
Step 6: Determine the Land Area (Area Measure) 🧮
This feature is available in the Pro version.
Select the "Add Area" or "Polygon" tool.
Tap along the four corners or boundary lines of the land.
When you complete the circuit and return to the first point, the app will show the Total Area of the land (e.g., 2400 sqft, or 2.5 shotok).
Step 7: Save or Share the Report
You can:
Generate a report in PDF format.
Export as a JPG/PNG image.
Share via Google Drive or WhatsApp.
Important Notes (Teacher's Tips):
Scale: If you don't set the scale, measurements will always be incorrect. Always set the scale first.
Picture Quality: Ensure the picture isn't crooked, otherwise, measurements will be inaccurate.
Flat Surface: When taking the picture, place the map on a flat surface.
Irregular Land: If the land is very irregular, divide it into simpler shapes (like triangles or quadrilaterals) and measure each section.
Where Can You Use This?
To identify land boundaries.
To check if the land area matches the map (less or more).
To create reference reports for deeds or surveys.
To simplify the surveyor's work.
