Abstract

Traditional method commonly used in bulk sampling and sieve analyses is inevitablely involved the bed surface excavation and destroy the original bed size distribution. In this work, an automatic surface size distribution observation method based on digital image analysis without involving the bed surface excavation is proposed and the validity of this method is tested by an experimental case. The surface size distribution results from this method are compared with the traditional volume-by-weight method, and it is shown that a conservative estimate of the error in measuring bed surface composition for this method is considerably smaller.
