Abstract

Attached is the Cobble App in Matlab developed by Erin Bray, for calculation of cobble shape parameters as reported in Bray et al "Influence of particle lithology, size, and angularity on rates and products of bedload wear: an experimental study" (In Review).

For the Cobble App to work, install Matlab version 2022b; Add the Image Processing Toolbox; Add the Computer Vision System Toolbox.Photo files must be saved in grayscale (no RGB embedded when saving photo files).
Files of photos can be saved as .tif or .tiff (both should work in the cobble app)
All extraneous white edges/borders or dots in files need to be removed (there were some stray white specks in the background of one of the photo files that was reduced to 75% resolution).
The Photo ID string column such as "P1_A1_N_PT" needs to be consistently formatted, with no extra spaces or extra characters, in both the Excel spreadsheet and in the photo file names, with no changes to the file string name even if you reduce the photo resolution to 75%. To use the merge functionality within the Cobble App, which pairs image-based shape parameters with corresponding handheld measurements of mass, diameter of each particle, the Excel spreadsheet needs to always have the identical number of columns and name of columns.
