Flake Classification by Image Analysis

Table of contents Image analysis is a technique that can be adapted to classify flakes by their geometric dimensions. This system is well suited to the flakeboard industry where flake dimensions, slenderness ratios, and aspect ratios are critical to the design and fabrication of structural material. Our report develops basic relations between image analysis and the more familiar screen fractionation. Analytical methods of presenting the data are discussed, and a cursory look is taken at correlating flake classification data to ultimate board performances.
