Taking an IKE Photo
An IKE Photo is a calibrated image allowing for multiple measurements with a single photo. It is recommended you take a minimum of two photos from different angles.
To take an IKE Photo:
- Position yourself at a distance where the entire pole is visible on the screen.
- Center the crosshair on the middle of the pole.
- If the distance displayed doesn’t appear to be right, readjust the crosshair on the pole.
- The crosshair will give a visual indication it is ready to capture by changing from a red circle to green square once you are able to take the IKE Photo.
- Adjust contrast slider located in the bottom left hand corner of the screen to make the pole stand out.
- Tap the orange Capture Icon button in the bottom right of the screen.
Best Practices
- Take at least two IKE Photos from different angles.
- Target the crosshair on the wood of the pole
- Line up the crosshair vertically with the tip and base of the pole.
- Make sure you can see the attachment points on the “Face of the Pole” for the most accurate annotation in IKE Office.
If the base of pole is obscured
- Use a Offset Stick to have a ground reference when dealing with obstructions
- Offset must be a known height. This can be anything with a known the height such as a range rod, height stick, PVC pipe, etc.
- Stand a offset stick at the base of the pole
- Reference is set vertical and flush against the pole.
