Automatic interpretation of computed tomography (CT) images for hardwood log defect detection
… for the automatic detection of internal hardwood log defects. The goal of the research is that such a system should not only be able to identify and locate internal defects of hardwood logs using computed tomography (CT) imagery, but also should be able to accommodate more than one type of wood, …

Analysis of Red Oak Timber Defects and Associated Internal Defect Area for the Generation of Simulated Logs
Log sawing simulation computer programs can be a valuable tool for training sawyers as well as for testing different sawing patterns. Most available simulation programs rely on databases from which to draw logs and can be very costly and time-consuming to develop. In this study, a computer program …

A feasibility study on using CT image analysis for hardwood log inspection
… optimize the value of material produced from a log requires information about the log's internal defects prior to log breakdown. Studies have shown that a 7 to 21 percent improvement in log value recovery can be achieved if the location and identity of internal defects are known. Recent …
