Main functions

WinDENDRO annual ring image analysis system is a multi-platform image analysis system that matches the scanner and specializes in measuring tree annual rings on disc-shaped wood cross-sections or columnar growth cone samples.

Large wood samples can be imaged multiple times in different parts; special tree core locators are used to place columnar samples; two methods of automatic annual ring measurement are suitable for different tree types; artificially assisted image recognition correction and missing pixel addition functions; Wood density measurement (density version) can be performed using X-ray film scanning of wood sheets.In addition, WinDENDRO can automatically set the tangent line between the crack and the annual ring angle to ensure the accuracy of measurement; in addition, additional XLSTEM can perform standard growth analysis of plants, such as the average radius, diameter, and overall cross-sectional area of ​​stems; tree height, volume,Tree age, etc.The analyzed annual ring image can simultaneously display the following parameters: annual ring width, early material/summer material width, annual ring maximum/minimum density/average density, early material/summer material average density (advanced density version), etc.

Measurement parameters

Basic measurement parameters of annual rings:Annual ring count, annual ring width, early/late material width, annual ring angle (radian), etc.

Annual ring density measurement parameters:The average density of annual rings, average density of early materials, average density of late materials, maximum density of late materials, and maximum density of early materials.

Tree disc measurement parameters:Disk area, circumference, average diameter, shape factor, pore area, annual ring technology, etc.

Application areas

Widely used in botany, plant physiology, forestry, arborology, forest ecology and other fields.
