Granulometric analysis is one of the fundamental parameters that determines the particle composition in sediment samples. This analysis helps determine grain size and the percentage of the individual size fractions in the specific sediment sample.

What is granulometric composition?

the content of granules of varying size in rock, soil, or an artificial product, expressed as a percentage of the bulk or of the quantity of granules of the examined sample.

What is granulometry in image processing?

In mathematical morphology, granulometry is an approach to compute a size distribution of grains in binary images, using a series of morphological opening operations. It was introduced by Georges Matheron in the 1960s, and is the basis for the characterization of the concept of size in mathematical morphology.
