Scanning operates as independent subsystem.
Machine learning
The Profile-it 3D application can connect to machine vision cameras and by using Deep Learning it can detect defects in the stem. This improves log value recovery. Machine learning is used to detect properties like the cross-cut position and knots. The system can be trained to recognize and detect any visual defect or stem property.
Forestbucker Stem Scanner
Forestbucker Stem Scanner is a portable tree stem scanner and value optimiser. The system will automatically scan and scale a delimbed tree and then calculate the optimal log-grade solution for the stem. Forestbucker is designed to operate at or near the tree harvesting site.
Profile-it 3D is a software component of the Forestbucker system. It uses true-shape 3D scanning and tree-length optimization to provide maximum forest value recovery. The software remotely controls the scanner trolley to automatically scan stem properties like diameters, volume, length, sweep and wobble. Cameras mounted on the trolley provide images of the stem to enable automatic defect detection in the stem, using deep learning. An operator can record additional stem properties like knots and other defects. Read more...
