An Interactive System for Processing PMS Two-Dimensional Imaging Probe Data

A system for interactively editing Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) two-dimensional (2-D) probe data, which has been processed using automated techniques is described. The system allows for reassignment of particle habits and sizes using a touch-screen computer terminal, which greatly simplifies editing of the processed 2-D data. This system, or simpler systems using graphics terminals alone, when used in conjunction with laboratory experiments that are being conducted to relate 2-D images to their actual (photograhic) shape, can lead to improvements in the interpretations from the data.
