Computer Vision-Based Wood Identification: A Review

Wood identification is an important tool in many areas, from biology to cultural heritage. In the fight against illegal logging, it has a more necessary and impactful application. Identifying wood sample genus or species level difficult, expensive time-consuming, even when using most recent methods, resulting growing need for readily accessible field-applicable method scientific identification. Providing fast results ease of use, computer vision-based technology economically option currently applied meet demand automated However, despite promising characteristics accurate this method, remains niche research area sciences little known other fields application such as To share applicability identification, paper reviews frequently cited relevant published based on vision machine learning techniques, aiming facilitate promote use encourage its among end-users who quick reliable results.
