Earlywood, latewood width measurements |
|
* |
* |
* The density version produce more precise earlywood width measurement when density analysis is turned on (even if no light calibration is done). This version is strongly recommended for this measurement. |
Sapwood width |
|
|
|
Must be indicated manually by the operator. |
Ring features |
|
|
|
For each ring, you can set up to five features or observations that you define (frost ring, wide, missing...) plus add textual comments. Features are displayed in the image, the ring-widths graphic and are saved with the analysis data. |
Log/Area function |
|
|
|
•Compression (reaction) wood and voids (cracks) areas measurement. This is done manually by tracing them in the image.
•Disk area, shape (form coefficient), perimeter, average radius, ring density per inch or cm in function of distance to pith. This is done semi-automatically. |
Light reflection analysis |
|
* |
* |
Export the path intensity profile to text files (on a pixel basis). The density version produces more precise measurements when density analysis is turned on (even if no light calibration is done). This version is strongly recommended for this measurement. |
Density Analysis & Blue Refllectance Method |
|
|
|
From images of x-ray films or digital filmless x-ray systems true density can be measred. Measurements per ring include; minimum, maximum, average ring density, average earlywood and average latewood density. Blue reflectance is a surrogate to density measurement. It measures blue reflected light from the wood sample and can be correlated to density (if desired). A calibration on a blue calibrated reflectance target is required (target is available as an option). |
