What is the Tomato Analyzer?
The Tomato Analyzer is software that quantifies the shape and color of tomato fruits.
How do I prepare the tomato fruit for analysis?
Fruits should be clean, dry, and cut appropriately before scanning.
What scanning resolution should I use?
Use 300 DPI for fruits between 1-8 cm, 100 DPI for larger fruits, and 750 DPI for very small objects.
Can I analyze multiple images at once?
Yes, the software allows batch analysis of over 100 images simultaneously.
Is calibration necessary for the scanner?
Yes, calibration is crucial for accurate color representation in the analysis.
What file format should the images be saved in?
Images should be saved as JPEG files for analysis.
