Computerized Simulation of Veneer Slicing Based on CT Scanning
Ye Ning · Mucai gongye · 2004
This paper introduces a new processing method for hardwood log veneer based on a computed tomography (CT) image. The process mainly involves log CT scanning, CT image (processing,) 3-D reconstruction of the log on a computer, simulated flitch slicing, and a virtual (display) of veneer. The application of the process and the benefits of the method are described. It (also) (analyzes) the possibility of applying a CT machine to the wood processing industry. Results showed that the method could be an efficient way to help operators with decisions on log sawing and flitch (slicing.)
