Abstract: A measurement apparatus comprising a base for receiving an object to be measured is disclosed. The base is provided with a pattern that is visually different in different locations. An abutment element is moveable relative to the object and the pattern, the moveable abutment element being configured to partially cover the pattern from an imaging apparatus and provide at least one datum point for the imaging apparatus for determining measurement data for the object based on the at least one datum point and a part of the pattern remaining visible for the imaging apparatus. Methods, imaging apparatuses and a system for generating and processing measurement data are also disclosed.

Abstract: There is provided a measuring device having a pair of pivoted arms, the ends of which remote from the pivot having an associated tape. The tape is fixed to one arm and extends internally through the other arm to be wound on to a biased reel located in a housing part, the reel taking up any slack in the tape.

Abstract: A footgauge having a foot support plate having an upper surface on which the foot is placed with the heel against a fixed heel abutment. A touchscreen computer device (TCD) is inserted in a tray below the surface and engages a movable toe abutment. The toe abutment is moved into engagement with the foot and the user then and the user then presses a fixed pointer into contact with the screen of the TCD. The TCD is programmed and calibrated so as to give a foot length reading which is dependent on how far the toe abutment is moved towards the heel abutment.
