A previously-developed SedImaging test quickly determines the particle size distribution (PSD) of coarse-grained soils. The test involves photographing and analyzing a soil following sedimentation through water to sort its particles by size. Generating a PSD by SedImaging takes a fraction of the time required by traditional sieving. Due to its large size and weight, the original SedImaging device is suitable only for laboratory settings. Therefore, a new FieldSed system has been designed as a field-adaptable version of the original SedImaging system. While it utilizes the same Harr wavelet image analysis methods as the original SedImaging test, FieldSed uses smaller-scale, lightweight hardware to make it practical for use in any testing environment. FieldSed also enables many parallel tests to be performed, thus greatly reducing testing time. The FieldSed-produced PSDs match sieving results very well.
