IDENTIFICATION OF DEFECTS WOOD
The article discusses the solution to the problem of identifying wood defects as amorphous objects, which comes down to combining individual bits of raster information of the scanning camera into groups of fragments of defects and establishing signs that ensure their differentiation among themselves with the determination of quantitative characteristics that characterize each individual fragment, in order to subsequent classification. To solve the problem of finding the connectivity of fragments of lumber flaws, an algorithm was used, for which an abstract model of an amorphous "spot" was developed, divided into cells by imposing a grid on it. This algorithm will allow to recognize and identify such defects in lumber as knot, crack, rot and wane. The data obtained in this way can be used for automatic cutting of defects in lumber with subsequent splicing along the length.
