Wood material recognition for industrial applications

Abstract

Material recognition is an essential problem in the industrial automation community. In this study, we develop a machine learning method to identify the wood material. We extract various feature descriptors for the sound signal and perform a comprehensive comparison with the common classifier. The experimental validations achieve the best feature combination. Besides, we developed a practical stylus to collect sound signal from the wooden samples and present promising preliminary results.
