Computer image based scaling of logs Finnighan, Grant Adam
Abstract
Individual log scaling for the forest industry is a time consuming operation. Presented here are the design and prototype test results of an automated technique that will improve on the current speed of this operation, while still achieving the required accuracy. This is based on a technique that uses a television camera and graphics monitor to enable the operator to spot logs in images, which an attached processor can automatically scale. The system must be first calibrated however. Additional to the time savings are the advantages that the accuracy will be maintained, if not improved, and the operation may now be performed from a sheltered location.
