Abstract

Accuracy of breakstone grain-size analysis using digital images in the initial method and its modification based on algorithm proposed by Rubin is compared. A modification with averaging of features over all directions and the method with a classification feature represented by difference of intensity distribution functions of fragment projections are described. The results obtained using these methods in a series of tests on grading of five breakstone fractions measured in a certified laboratory. It is shown that the modified method by Rubin with averaging over all directions provides the highest accuracy.
