In herpetology, a common morphological description of a reptile can be the number of scales (for example scales across mid-body, lamellae on feet etc); and in some cases, it could be the only way to tell two cryptic species apart. I wondered if anyone had found software that could assist counting reptile scales on images.?
I have previously used the counting software on ImageJ and found that rather useful. However, is there any alternatives?
Something like this, or references within?

I'm not sure if they work on scales, but have a look at ImageJ or Fiji.
Take a look at Google Cloud Vision, in particular:
