An algorithm to automatically detect and measure knots in CT images of softwood beams
was developed. The algorithm is based on the use of 3D connex components and a 3D …

In a plant that manufactures wood products, such as lumber, dimension stock, or veneer
sheets, inspection of the products is a necessary part of the production process. At present …

Automatic surface detection for quality control has largely employed image processing
techniques, for example in steel and fabric defect inspection. There are rising demands in …

This paper deals with the detection and extraction of poorly contrasted rectilinear structures
in textured areas, using a Markov random field model. The application is in the analysis of …

The ability to detect defects on hardwood trees and logs holds great promise for the
hardwood forest products industry. At every stage of wood processing, there is a potential for …

To fully optimize the value of material produced from a hardwood log requires information
about type and location of internal defects in the log. This paper describes a prototype vision …

Sawing of hardwood logs still relies on relatively simple technologies that, in spite of their
lack of sophistication, have been successful for many years due to wood's traditional low …

This work explores the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for nondestructive
determination of wood characteristics and for 3D wood modeling. In this context, one of the …

For the process of spatial autoregression of order (1, 1), the least-modules estimates were
found to be asymptotically normal and the relative asymptotic efficiency of these estimates …

Для процесса пространственной авторегрессии порядка (1, 1) установлена
асимптотическая нормальность оценок наименьших модулей, вычислена …
