Image analysis methods are commonly employed to determine the size and shape of particles. Although commercial and non-commercial tools enable detection and measurement of grains from images, they do not provide good results in the case of images acquired during extensive in situ Martian investigations. Within the confines of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission thousands of images of sand grains were captured, and hitherto, they are the only source of ground-truth data on Martian sand particles. Therefore, a new approach is proposed to analyze such images. The semi-automatic algorithm allows fast detection and measurement of the size and shape of Martian grains from images obtained by the Microscopic Imager (MI) and the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). The method was evaluated on 76 images of terrestrial and Martian deposits. The results for the terrestrial samples were compared to those from sieve analysis, as well as with ImageJ and Malvern Morphologi G3 systems. The method provides similar results to those from the other methods. It does not have any limitation on the size of grains, and permits separation of touching particles.
