Photograph the cut ends of the bundle straight-on so the visible bamboo poles cross-sections are clear — the AI marks its counted detections for review. Built for timber yards, sawmills and forestry teams — review and correct each photo before adding it to a CSV or PDF tally.
- Review the photo, then count visible bamboo poles
- Count without marking; add example boxes if you need a guided recount
- Stop counting the same bamboo poles twice to be sure of the total

Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the bamboo poles fully in frame
• Check that each marked example boxes a whole bamboo poles rather than a repeated part
• Dots and heatmap show retained detections — review and correct the tally
About the Bamboo Poles Counter
The bamboo poles counter counts visible bamboo poles from your photo and marks detections for review. Auto mode uses the selected item name. For a guided recount, mark up to three examples of what you want counted. Visibility, overlap and similar-looking items can affect the total. Built for timber yards, sawmills and forestry teams.
How It Works
1. Photograph your bamboo poles
2. Check that bamboo poles is selected, then choose Count
3. Review the markers and correct the tally; add example boxes for a guided recount if needed
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Truck-load drafts at the yard gate
• Harvest and dispatch tallies from the cutting site
• Yard inventories of banded bundles by diameter
• Documenting quantities for a sale or haulage note
Counting bamboo poles from the bundle ends
Bamboo poles are counted at the yard gate for truck-load drafts, at the cutting site for harvest and dispatch tallies, and in the yard where bundles are banded by diameter. As with pipes, the count comes from the cut ends: each hollow culm shows as a ring with a dark center when you look at the bundle end-on.
Stand square to the bundle and photograph the ends straight-on. Bamboo is rarely cut to one length, so some ends sit deeper in the bundle and fall into shadow; even them up against a board if you can, or light the face from the front with a work light. Thick and thin culms in one bundle look like two different items, so mark one of each in Similar items. Ends cut through a node are solid and look different from hollow ends, so include one in the examples if they are common.
Edge-of-bundle poles, partly hidden by their neighbors, are the ones to check before adding the bundle as a labelled row. Pipe bundles use the same end-on method for pipes, round timber loads go to the log counter, and split firewood has its own page.
Bundle end checks
- Camera square to the bundle face
- Recessed ends lit, not left in shadow
- Thick and thin culms marked as separate examples
- One bundle per photo and per tally row
Frequently asked questions
- How should I photograph a bundle for counting?
- Shoot the ends straight-on, close enough that each end is at least a few pixels across, with even light and no strong shadows inside the bundle. Use the dots to review each retained detection, then correct misses or duplicates before using the total.
- What if the photo has more than just bamboo poles in it?
- Auto mode uses the selected item name to find what to count. For a guided recount, mark one complete, clearly visible bamboo poles — up to 3 examples for different-looking kinds. Similar-looking distractors can still affect the result, so review every marker before using the total.
- Can I count several photos into one total?
- Yes — count each photo and add every reviewed result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. If you use example boxes, mark them separately on each photo. Export the tally as CSV or a PDF report, or save it to your account.
- Is it free and private?
- Yes. You can count, review and download a free result without an account. Downloads are free without a watermark. No signup required. Server-processed photos are encrypted in transit and removed under our Security policy.
