Abstract:

Objective: In order to effectively improve the accuracy and speed of wood identification, a new method of wood identification based on PWoodIDNet model, a convolutional neural network model, was proposed with expects to provide advanced identification method and instruments for customs, import and export quarantine inspection, furniture enterprises and other legal departments and enterprises, and to promote the scientific and technological progress of China's wood import and export quarantine inspection industry and wood processing and manufacturing enterprises. Method: Firstly, 16 kinds of wood samples were selected, and 50 high-resolution microscopic CT images and industrial camera images were obtained from each sample with a total of 1 600 images. Then, a total of 4 800 target regions with wood rays, parenchyma, axial tracheids, pits and textures were intercepted. The image set was expanded to 19 200 images through image enhancement algorithms, such as horizontal flipping, vertical flipping, mirroring and brightness transformation. The PWoodIDNet model for the identification of tree species based on convolutional neural network was constructed. The stochastic gradient descent (SGDM) method with momentum added was used to optimize the model, and GPU was used to optimize the parallel operation library. The classification accuracy of wood macro- and micro-structure data sets was compared. Result: Compared with the existing GoogLeNet identification method, the accuracy and speed of PWoodIDNet model were increased by 1.49% and 59.69%, respectively. Compared with the existing AlexNet identification method, the accuracy and speed of PWoodIDNet model were increased by 3.76% and 2.63%, respectively. Conclusion: PWoodIDNet model could break through the difficulties of existing identification methods, such as narrow range of wood species, low accuracy and low identification speed, effectively identify wood, and could achieve the best identification effects in less training time. It would be expected to provide a new method and thought for the identification of wood in China.
