Abstract

Density
is an important wood property since it correlates to mechanical
properties of wood. Fuzzy logic, among the various available Artificial
Intelligence techniques, emerges as a good technique in predicting. Digital
image analysis is an powerful tool to obtain meaningful data out of an image. In this study, digital image processing based on a
red–green–blue (RGB) color examination was practiced to measure the intensity
of wood color. Densities of the test samples were measured. Then, a new fuzzy
logic model was developed based on these measured values and RGB color
intensity of wood. Afterwards, the
experimental and modeling data results were compared.  98.17% accuracy was observed between the
measurement and the fuzzy logic model. Consequently, Fuzzy logic is visable
method for the prediction of the wood density.
