使用数字图像分析来研究许多自然现象并不新奇。大量的文献存在于其应用研究的多样性的物理特性，从许多环境。然而，在海洋和湖泊环境的沉积物研究中，这一工具的力量正在实现。在个人计算机环境中使用的图像处理应用程序的出现，以及高分辨率数字摄像机的可用性，正在将该技术带到许多研究人员的桌面上，本文将试图回顾那些可能被研究人员发现有用的技术，这些技术考虑在这种类型的研究中使用图像分析，特别是那些需要计算层片以构建年表，或根据层片厚度或成分编制时间序列以与来自其他数据集的时间序列进行比较的人。许多资料可能已经在印刷品中找到，但它来自许多学科，似乎以前没有这方面的文献。
The use of digital image analysis for the investigation of many natural phenomena is not novel. A vast amount of literature exists on its application to the study of a diversity of physical characteristics from many environments. The power of this tool is now being realised, however, in the study of sediments, from both marine and lacustrine environments. The advent of image processing applications for use in a personal computing environment, and the availability of high resolution digital video cameras, are serving to bring the technique to the desktops of many researchers.This paper will attempt to review those techniques which may be found useful by researchers contemplating the use of image analysis in this type of study, and in particular those who need to count laminations in order to construct a chronology, or to compile time series from lamina thickness or composition, for comparison with those derived from other datasets. Much of the information may be found already in print, but it derives from many disciplines, and does not seem to have been documented previously in this connection.
