Image analysis is a powerful tool for solving different engineering problems in particle technology. It is the process of extracting important information from the digital image. Different image analysis methods have been used for the studies of rotary drums; mainly can be classified as manual and automated methods. The manual method is depending on using an appropriate software (Like ImageJ software) for the manual selection of the material. The automated method is a combination of using ImageJ software and Matlab image processing toolbox. In the present research the two methods were used and compared for studying flighted rotary drums under the variance of some operating parameters. The varied parameters are; number of flights used (12 and 18) and rotational speeds (from 1 to 5 rpm). The comparisons between the two methods revealed that the manual method is more reliable and of preciseness. However it needs much time consuming compared to the automated one especially in light of numerous photographs to be analyzed.
