Project Description

This is "The Multimedia Signal Processing and Security Lab", short WaveLab, website. We are a research group at the Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) Department of the University of Salzburg led by Andreas Uhl. Our research is focused on Visual Data Processing and associated security questions. Most of our work is currently concentrated on Biometrics, Media Forensics and Media Security, Medical Image and Video Analysis, and application oriented fundamental research in digital humanities, individualised aquaculture and sustainable wood industry.
   

Biometric fingerprints of trees: log tracing from forest to sawmill and early estimation of wood quality (TreeTrace)

 

Project Description:

TreeTrace (FWF project I 3653) is an international project with three French and two Austrian partners. On the Austrian side, this is a joint project with the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (School of Forest Products Technology), where we have the role of a national research partner. The project considers two application cases for log cross-section imaging as follows: The first application case is the question of tracing tree logs from the forest harvesting site to the sawmill by using biometrics related tree log recognition techniques based on image processing of cross - section data only. This approach of course assumes the additional availability of imaging sensors in the forest. Since there is a trend for installing CT imaging devices at sawmills, which are of course not available in the forest, the challenging issue of cross modality matching arises. The second application case is the determination of wood quality from cross - section imagery, applicable already in the forest, and/or at the sawmill.
