Abstract

The proof of origin of wood logs is becoming more and more important. In the context of Industry 4.0 and to combat illegal logging, there is an increased interest to track each individual log. In order to track roundwood from the forest to the sawmill, this work applies log recognition based on log end images from 100 logs that were captured first in the forest and later at the sawmill. The log images are segmented from the background, then preprocessed using a novel filtering approach and features are extracted using two CNN-based methods. In this work we show that using filtering approaches that improve the visibility of the annual ring pattern and suppress unwanted image information like the saw cut pattern clearly improve the recognition results. © 2022 IEEE.
