Study on measurement of wood surface roughness by computer vision

Abstract

The working processes, machining devices and tools, cutting amount, consumption of materials, productivity and quality of products are directly affected by wood surface roughness. This paper gives an extensive review of methods used previously to measure wood surface roughness, and concludes that computer vision is the most suitable technique. The preliminary study shows that computer vision method has the advantages of a noncontact, three-dimensional measurement, high speed and well correlates with stylus tracing method. This method can be used in classification and in-time measurement of wood surface roughness after being improved.
