Statistical properties of lines distribution for tropical wood recognition system

An automated tropical wood recognition system has been developed by Centre for Artificial Intelligence & Robotics (CAIRO), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) based on machine vision to emulate the experts known as KenalKayu. The system used Statistical Properties of Pores Distribution (SPPD) fe...
