I think this article needs to be significantly updated. Currently it significantly represents the view of Optical Granulometry from the visible light photographic point of view, whereas significant progress has been made using images of 3D height profiles.

In addition it primarily represents the view of a commercial entity User:Wipware without any broader discussion of the field.

I think the article could be updated to include a robust scientific summary of this field, including references to publications other than those on Wipware, and in particular covering sources of error in this area of technology.

This talk entry is an indication that I wish to update this article in this manner, from a scientific/academic point of view. Adding additional depth and structure with some of the following headings;

History, Sources of error, Photographic imaging systems, 3D profile imaging systems

What does "Granulometry" mean ?

when I read technical data sheet of Sulphate of potash, I couldnt understand it...

please somebody help me to know it.

Definition

Maybe the defintion should read "Optical Granulometry is the process in which a granular material is measured based on a picture", with the word granular instead of fragmented? Renato (talk) 20:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the definition to match the definition of granulometry at GEMET. If there is a more appropriate definition to optical granulometry, please change to reflect it, and add the source. Renato (talk) 20:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
