METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF A WOOD PRODUCT BASED ON A LEVEL OF IRREGULARITY OF A SURFACE OF THE WOOD PRODUCT USING NEAR INFRARED IMAGING

Abstract:

Near InfraRed NIR technology, including NIR cameras and detectors, are used to detect irregularity in the surface of a wood product. Based on the detected irregularities at various locations in a given wood product, one or more actions are taken with respect to a production process used to produce the wood product to ensure the wood product is put to the most efficient, effective, and valuable use.
