Grain size measurement using distribution classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of grain size distribution is important in many industrial processes. In this study, rolled chrome concentrate was investigated to find the average grain size. Distribution classification was used with covariance, gray level difference, LBP, Laws and color features. As a comparison cooccurrence features were used. Classification was performed by a distribution classifier using leave-1-out and holdout methods. Test material was sieved into 15 fractions, from 37 μm to 500 μm, and also mixtures of three adjacent fractions were formed. The best results were obtained with gray level difference features that could classify 15 fractions without error. Finally grain mixtures of three adjacent fractions were analyzed using the holdout method. The results show that the combination of gray level difference features and distribution classifier can distinguish test material quite well.

Comparison of sediment grain size analysis among two methods and three instruments using environmental samples
Sediment grain size is measured using a variety of methods, but comparisons of measurement methods on environmental samples are limited. Three instruments (Coulter LS230, Horiba LA900, and SediGraph 5100) utilizing two fundamentally different operating principles were employed to measure a single set of 20 different sediment samples collected at shelf depths from the Southern California Bight. ...
متن کاملMeasuring spatiotemporal variation in snow optical grain size under a subalpine forest canopy using contact spectroscopy
The distribution of forest cover exerts strong controls on the spatiotemporal distribution of snow accumulation and snowmelt. The physical processes that govern these controls are poorly understood given a lack of detailed measurements of snow states. In this study, we address one of many measurement gaps by using contact spectroscopy to measure snow optical grain size at high spatial resolutio...
متن کاملInstruments and Methods Contact spectroscopy for determination of stratigraphy of snow optical grain size
We present a technique for in situ measurement of the vertical and spatial stratigraphic distribution of snow optical grain size with a coupled contact illumination probe and field spectroradiometer. Accurate measurements of optical-equivalent grain size are critical for modeling radiative properties of snow such as spectral albedo and microwave emission. Measurements of the spectral reflectanc...
