Form From Projected Shadow (FFPS): An algorithm for 3D shape analysis of sedimentary particles
A powerful method for shape analysis of sedimentary particles is developed. An algorithm allows us to determine three axes of particles from a single image. Using HSL color space, multiple textured and colored objects can be segmented. Several particles can be measured at the same time without expensive equipment. Particles morphology can be determined quickly and with low experimental error.
