Research Abstract |
Developing research on a non-destructive portable wood quality inspection system with the ultra-compact X-ray source developed by Dr. Suzuki was conducted. We found that it is possible to discriminate between sapwood and heartwood, between earlywood and latewood, between knots area and knots free area, between worm hole area and normal wood, and between wet heartwood and non-wet heartwood, by using the ultra-compact X-ray source. We continued to develop the lighter and more compact X-ray source suitable for use with standing tree in forest, and also to examine computed tomography imaging. We finally designed an inspection system based on the results from several experiments.
