The invention refers to a method, and a device, to be used in sorting plant for saw timber in order to measure the dimension, profile and other properties of individual logs and thereby improving the sawyield. The method comprises an image analysis system and at least one further measuring system, which are used to determine the wood surface profile under the bark of the log end, whereby the wood surface profile, obtained with the image analysis, is combined with another wood surface profile, obtained with another measuring technique, or the image analysis utilizes measurement results obtained from another measurement to determine the wood surface profile. |
