MICROCOMPUTER PROCESSING THE PHOTOGRAPH OF TIMBER WITH HOLE KNOTS

A reliable method non-destructive X-ray test of wood defects with computer digital image processing technique was presented in the paper which made the knot-hole in wood clear and easily recognized. It was the first time to use maximtun entropy to determine the threshold of binary picture and thc result was satisfying. The improved Robert was used in the paper in the paper to outline the knot-hole so that the processing was almost on real time.
