MATLAB software to calculate the grain size distribution from an image of sediment or other granular material
Intended for use when the vertical variation in grain size is important, such as in well resolved scans of sedimentary cores
To run the program, download and unzip, open MATLAB, cd to the DGS-master directory, then in the command window type:
dgs_core_gui
This program implements the algorithm of
