This study shows how to develop a fast, reliable, and non-invasive artificial vision system to quantitatively estimate the particle size distribution of granular products. The system, based on multivariate and multiresolution texture analysis, uses digital images of the bulk material to extract quantitative information on the particle size ranges appearing in each image and on their weight proportion independently of the shape of the particle distribution (mono- or multi-modal). The method is applied to a wet-granulated product (namely, microcrystalline cellulose), and it is shown that the size distributions can be estimated accurately. The system performance is discussed in the light of an application in the automated monitoring of particle size distribution in industrial processes
