Abstract
This paper introduces a novel, ultra-compact particle size analyzer using a CMOS image sensor and machine learning. The device uses a small form factor angular spatial filter to collect light scattered by particles at discrete angles. A light-emitting diode (LED) and CMOS image sensor array acquire angularly resolved scattering images, which are then used by a machine learning model to predict the volume median diameter of the particles. Testing with glass beads (13-125 µm) showed mean absolute percentage errors of 5.09% (without concentration as input) and 2.5% (with concentration as input). The device's compact size and low cost make it suitable for applications outside of standard laboratories, such as online industrial process monitoring.
