Description :
A new method of image analysis was tested on digital micro-photographs of glacial sediments. The method incorporated multispectral image classification algorithm to identify and separate the major components of each image. The resulting maps showing areas of matrix, void spaces, skeleton grains and birefringent plasma, were used to quantify plasmic fabric information. The results showed that the current qualitative approach to plasmic fabric descriptions may be too subjective.
