After you draw your outline, you are shown it again on a handful of other photos taken across the whole upload — near the start, the middle, and the end.
Same outline on a different photo — still lined up? (1 of 3)
Why this step exists
The whole system rests on one assumption: your camera does not move. Because it stays put, one outline works for every photo, and you only have to draw it once.
That assumption is usually true and occasionally not. A strap slips, someone knocks the camera moving a gate, a fan blows it round a few degrees. When that happens, the outline that fit perfectly on day one is measuring the wrong strip of concrete by day nine — and nothing in the finished report would obviously tell you.
Checking three photos spread across the run catches it in fifteen seconds.
What to do
The panel explains it:
Quick check — Your camera stays put, so the outline should hug the bunk in every photo. If this one looks off, tap “Fix it on this photo” and nudge the corners.
- Yes, still lined up — the outline sits on the bunk in this frame too. Move on.
- Fix it on this photo — the corners become draggable so you can correct them on this particular frame. When you are done, Done — keep checking carries on.
If one photo looks badly wrong
If the outline is far off on a later photo, the camera moved partway through the run. Fix it as best you can and then let us know — email [email protected] with your farm name and roughly when you think it shifted. Depending on how far it moved we may be able to handle the two halves separately.
For the next run, re-mount the camera more securely. See Where to mount your camera.
If a photo is just dark or blocked
A night shot or a frame with a tractor parked across the bunk is hard to judge. That is fine — if you cannot tell, it is not evidence that anything is wrong. Confirm it and move on, or go back and pick a clearer frame to draw on in the first place.
Skipping it
You can. The outline you drew is saved either way. The check is there to catch a specific, occasional problem, not because your outline is incomplete without it.
