4. Image Management
Images are the foundation of every assessment. Inoscope provides tools for uploading, organizing, viewing, measuring, and annotating inspection photos.
Uploading Images
- Open an assessment and go to the Details tab.
- Click the Upload button in the image panel.

Batch Upload
You can select multiple images at once. The progress dialog tracks each upload individually so you can see which images are still processing.
Image Panel
The left panel of the assessment detail screen shows all uploaded images organized by location.
Grouping by Location
Images are automatically grouped into collapsible sections based on their location tag:
- Exterior — Outside the property
- Interior — Inside the property
- Document — From paper documents or files
- Digital — From digital sources
Changing an Image's Location
- Click on an image thumbnail.
- Open the Edit Location dialog.

- The image moves to the appropriate section.
Image Viewer
Click any thumbnail to open the image in the main viewer (center panel). The viewer supports:

- Pan — Click and drag to move around a zoomed image
- Full-screen — Expand the image to fill the screen using the enlarge button
Damage Overlay
When AI damage detection has been run, the viewer shows bounding boxes overlaid on the image highlighting detected damage areas. Each box is color-coded by severity.
Image Metadata
Each image has metadata you can view and edit:
- Click the metadata icon on an image.
- The Edit Image Metadata Dialog shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Location | Where in the property this image was taken (editable) |
| Upload Date | When the image was uploaded |
| Uploaded By | Who uploaded the image |

Image Authenticity
Inoscope analyzes image metadata to verify authenticity. This helps ensure photos are original and haven't been tampered with. The authenticity score is displayed as a percentage.
Measurement Tools
The image viewer includes measurement tools for annotating and measuring areas on photos.
Available Tools
| Tool | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Line | Draw a line to measure distances |
| Bounding Box | Draw a rectangle to measure areas |
| Scale | Set a reference scale for unit conversion |
How to Measure
- Open an image in the viewer.
- Select a measurement tool from the drawing toolbar.
- Click and drag on the image to draw your measurement.
- If you've set a scale reference, measurements display in real units (meters, centimeters).
Measurement Features
- Measurement history — All measurements are saved and visible on the image

Scaling
To get accurate measurements:

- Enter the real-world length.
- All subsequent measurements will be calculated relative to this scale.
