Abstract :
A particle image probe comprising a CCD camera and an image processing system was developed for online monitoring of granule growth in a fluidized bed granulation. Fuzzy logic using a linguistic algorithm employing if-then rules was adopted to control granule growth in fluidized bed granulation. It was found that the system could control granule growth with high accuracy
