Application of image analysis technique for measurement of sand grains in sediments
Egert Vandel, Tiit Vaasma, S. Sugita
Abstract
described in this paper, the approach proved to be:•objective and efficient for analysing grain-size distribution even with low concentrations of sands in samples,•increasing reliability of the measurement and providing reproducible results by avoiding manual measuring processes, and•non-destructive and enabling further analyses on mineral composition and other properties of sand grains.
