Abstract This paper describes feature-based techniques for wood knot classification. For automated classification of macroscopic wood knot images, models were established using artificial neural networks with texture and local feature descriptors, and the performances of feature extraction algorithms were compared. Classification models trained with texture descriptors, gray-level co-occurrence matrix and local binary pattern, achieved better performance than those trained with local feature des

Lumber species identification is an important issue for the wood industry. In this study, three types of neural networks (artificial neural network (ANN), deep neural network (DNN), and convolutional neural network (CNN)) were employed for classifying softwood lumber species using NIR spectroscopy. The results show that CNN, which is based on deep learning, was more stable than the other neural networks. In particular, the stability of the training process was remarkably improved in CNN models.

This work focused on the shrinkage and drying stress of red pine (Pinus densiflora) wood during kiln drying and investigated transverse shrinkage and moisture changes in thin specimens using digital image analysis and near-infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The effect of specimen thickness, which ranged from 1 to 10 mm on shrinkage, was analyzed under drying conditions with restrained stresses. The shrinkage due to moisture content was presented in the form of an exponential function and a lin

본 연구에서는 과열증기를 이용한 열처리 공정 제어 방법을 설계하고 적용하였다. <TEX>$170^{\circ}C$</TEX>, 0.4 MPa 조건의 과열증기에서 약 10시간 동안 열처리한 잣나무 판재의 물리 및 역학적 성질 변화를 무처리재 및 <TEX>$220^{\circ}C$</TEX> 상압조건에서 일반 열처리한 목재와 비교하였다. 과열증기 처리재는 무처리재에 비해서 수분 흡습량 및 평형함수율이 낮아졌으며, 종압축 강도 및 휨 강도가 증가하였다. 흡습성은 일반 열처리재와 비슷하였으며, 일반 열처리 시 발생하기 쉬운 내부 할렬은 발생하지 않았다. 또한 과열증기 처리에 의해서 잣나무 내부에 있는 다량의 송진이 제거되는 효과도 나타내었다. In this study, the method for heat treating wood using superheated steam (SHS) was designed and applied. The physical and mechanical propert

Abstract Pitch pine ( P. rigida ) wood was treated with superheated steam (SHS) and the subsequent effects due to drying and heat treatment (HT) were observed. The following treatment parameters were tested: 180°C air HT, 220°C air HT, 0.1 MPa–180°C SHS HT, 0.1 MPa–220°C SHS HT, 0.5 MPa–180°C SHS HT, and 0.5 MPa–220°C SHS HT. No drying checks were observed in the specimens (500×150×50 mm 3 ) treated at 0.5 MPa–220°C SHS and with these treatment parameters, equilibrium moisture content (EMC) was

In this paper, we investigated the carbonization characteristics of lignin hydrochar prepared by hydrothermal carbonization and established a model for predicting the carbonization degree using near-infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares regression. The carbon content of the hydrothermally carbonized lignin at the temperature of 200 ℃ was higher by approximately 3 wt% than that of the untreated sample, and the carbon content tended to gradually increase as the heating time increased. Hy

Abstract Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels – consisting of several cross-wise stacked layers of glued boards – have a high dimensional stability. However, the outer surfaces of CTL are exposed to environmental humidity changes and thus to swelling and shrinking. To improve CLT’s dimensional stability further, the layers of kiln dried (KD) CLT were substituted partly (on the surfaces) and entirely with superheated steam treated (SHST) wood. The effects of SHST wood and the performance of the on

Electrical resistance and resistivity were measured with various types of electrodes to evaluate the moisture content of wood. The conventional two-pin method, electrically conductive fabrics, and multi-pin electrodes were used to measure the electrical resistance of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) wood, and a four-pin probe was used for resistivity measurements. The resistance in the longitudinal direction measured with the two-pin electrode was slightly affected by the dimensions of the wood

A significant amount of time and energy is required to dry green timber with a large cross-section. Due to long-lasting internal moisture gradients, internal stress is high during the drying of large cross-sectional timber, and the potential for check occurrence is significant. Although many researchers have aimed to develop a method for drying large pieces of wood without the occurrence of drying defects, a procedure for rapidly drying wood without cracks has not yet been developed. In the pres

삼나무의 심재 부위에는 흑화현상이 자주 발생한다. 심재 내 페놀성 추출물과 Norlignans 물질이 약알칼리하에서 산화함으로써 흑화현상이 발생한다고 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 삼나무 내부 흑심재와 변재간의 색상차를 줄여보고자 열처리와 광처리를 실시하였다. 열처리로는 열기건조, 진공가열건조, 열수처리를 적용하였고, 광처리로는 삼나무 표면에 자외선광을 조사하였다. 열처리와 광처리에서 온도와 함수율 및 자외선의 색상차 감소효과를 평가하였다. 색상차 감소 효과는 열수처리가 가장 우수하였으며, 산소량이 적은 저기압 상태에서 건조시킴으로써 산화반응을 줄여보고자 실시한 진공건조는 기대한 바와 달리 열기건조와 비슷한 정도의 목재 표면의 색상차 감소효과를 보였다. 광처리는 건조재 표면의 색상차 감소효과를 보여 대패가공 후 마감처리에 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 추후 효과적인 삼나무 재색제어를 위해서 각 처리별 최적 공정조건 탐색 및 복합처리 적용 기술개발이 필요하다.

Techniques based on electrical resistance and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy were used to determine the moisture content (MC) of logging residues and sweet sorghum. The MC of biomass is a factor to be controlled that can affect the quality of final products. To accurately measure the moisture in fragmented materials, it is essential to increase the bulk density of the materials by compression. The low bulk density increased the error from the oven-drying MC and the variation between repeated m

최근 만들어지고 있는 거주공간은 단열성능 향상을 통한 냉난방 에너지 절약을 위하여 더욱 기밀해지고 있다. 이로 인해 일상생활 중에 발생하는 수분의 인위적인 배출과 외부공기의 인위적인 유입이 줄어듦에 따라 건축내장재의 자연조습기능에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열처리된 잣나무의 흡 방습성능을 평가하고 이에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하였다. 상대습도 변화에 따른 평형함수율과 흡 방습률을 측정하였고, 조도(거칠기)와 미시적 표면형상, 그리고 FT-IR spectrum과 흡방습성과의 관계를 고찰하였다. 본 연구결과는 거주공간의 조습성능 정량화 평가시스템 구축을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다. A high airtightness is required for the residential spaces constructed recently to save cooling and heating energy through improving insulation perfor

This paper examines the classification of five coniferous species, including larch (Larix kaempferi), red pine (Pinus densiflora), Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), and cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), using near−infrared (NIR) spectra. Fifty lumber samples were collected for each species. After air−drying the lumber, the NIR spectra (wavelength = 780−2500 nm) were acquired on the wide face of the lumber samples. Soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) was p
