Abstract

This paper presents an approach to automatically detect tree rings and subsequent measurement of annual ring widths in untreated cross-section images. This approach aims to offer additional insights on wood quality. It is composed of two parts. The first one is to detect tree rings by using directional filters together with an adaptive refining process allowing to extract the rings from radial information for different angles around the tree pith. The second step consists in building a confidence map by considering polar quad-tree decomposition which enables us to identify the relevant regions of image for conducting the tree ring width measurements.The method is evaluated on two public datasets, demonstrating good performance in both detection and measurement.
