Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method for quantifying physical characteristics of granular products includes the placing of product samples into a sample holder, and compression of the product samples against a clear window for identification by the image acquisition sub-system. Using custom software architecture, an electronic image is generated, captured, processed, and specific physical characteristics are quantified based on calibration-trained expert-user criteria.
