Abstract
The study of turbidity plumes developed in front of the river mouth, have an increasing
scientific interest due to its contribution to infralittoral sediment transport and deposition. River
plume evolution and deposition in submarine fans related to environmental constrains could be
interpreted by the analysis of suspended particulate matter (SPM) retained during the filtering
process. In this study, a new methodology approach to obtain quantitative results in sediment filters,
using custom digital image processing techniques, is presented and some promising preliminary
results are obtained. This procedure could avoid time-consuming during SPM analysis allowing an
easy way to obtain fast and quantitative information, which might lead to a better interpretation and
comprehension of factors involved in the evolution of riverine turbidity plumes.
