Method for determining the quantity and diameter of tree trunks of equal length stored in a wood pile uses a digital camera and software for analyzing captured images

摘要

Method has the following steps: attachment of a meter (M) to the front of a wood pile (P), imaging and measurement of both front and back surfaces of the wood pile using a digital camera (D) that is arranged approximately perpendicular to the surfaces and transfer of data to an analysis unit that is used to determine number and diameter of the trunks. The invention can be based on a portable computer, digital camera and light source.
