This article pro-vides a comparative analysis of grain size distribution curves derived from image analysis using vari-ous methods. The first method compares representative fragments of the muck pile through manual analysis, commercial software, and an Open-Source Algorithm. The second method evaluates the grain size distribution curves of the entire muck pile, utilizing both commercial software and an open-source algorithm.}, type={artykuł}, title={Comparison of Methods for Calculating Fragmentation of Blast Muck Piles in Quarries}, keywords={górnictwo, geologia, geoinżynieria, fragmentation, fragment size distribution, fracture, blasting, quarries}, }
