최근 목재산업계에서는 사람의 시각을 대체하는 기계시각을 이용한 화상처리시스템을 도입하여 제재목 등급 판정의 자동화, 제품의 품질향상 및 재단 최적화 등에 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내산 소나무 제재목을 대상으로 표면결함검출을 위한 화상처리시스템을 개발하고자 하였으며, 주로 이용되고 있는 라인스캔카메라를 대신하여 비교적 저가의 영역카메라를 이용하였을 때 발생되는 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 벨트컨베이어의 불균일한 이송속도에 따른 문제점을 해결하기 위해 화상의 특징점을 이용한 결과 효과적인 화상병합을 할 수 있었다. 일반적인 영역카메라는 송재속도 15.7 m/min 이상에서는 모션블러에 의한 화상의 품질저하로 인하여 화상처리가 어려웠고 화상처리에 적합한 송재속도는 13.8 m/min였으며 추후 송재속도를 향상시키기 위해서는 전자셔터 속도가 빠른 카메라의 사용이 요구되었다. 녹색 컨베이어벨트상의 제재목 화상의 배경과의 분리를 위해서는 RGB필터의 red 채널을 이용하면 효과적이었다. 옹이검출을 위한 문턱값 판정법은 화상분석형인 문턱값 감소법이 우수하였으며 히스토그램분석형 중에서는 엔트로피법이 적합하였다.

Automation of wood processing is strongly required to improve the productivity and quality of wood products in wood industry which is one of the most labor-intensive industries. Classification of surface defects on wood boards such as knots is one of the important steps towards a completely automated wood processing system. In this study the possibility of detection of knots by image processing technique was investigated. Algorithm for the automatic determination of threshold value was developed to enhance the flexibility of image processing system. Two different approaches, grid method and tile method, were developed to enhance the speed in extracting features from images. Grid method showed slightly higher processing speed and tile method proved much more stable in determining threshold values. Tile size of $5{\times}5$ pixels or $6{\times}6$ pixels was found to be proper to get stable results with resonable processing time.

The exports of plywood are increasing annually and it has ranked first in the world market because of the high quality product and manufactured using mordern techniques. However, it is known that the exports of the other wood products, except plywood, is inactive because of their low quality. Accordingly, to increase the exports of various wood products investigations were carried out on kiln drying techniques to improve the quality of the wood. Wet wood should be kiln dried before use to prevent various drying defects such as distortion, shrinkage etc., which would develop after processing,:and also wet wood is not suitable for cutting, gluing and finishing. Therefore, the kiln drying properties of lumber from such species as oak, ramin and meranti which are used in large quantity for manufacturing exporting wood products have been studied. The results of the research are summarized as follows. (1) The end checks and the time for drying from initial moisture content of about 40 percent to 5 percent moisture content in ovendry were investigated as follows: (2) The kiln dried results, for 30mm stock, which are presented by using kiln schedule table 3 are as follows: (3) The kiln schedules for ramin, meranti and oak are given respectively as follows: Ramin kiln schedule: Table 17 and Table 18. Meranti schedule : Table 12. Oak schedule : Table 15.

목재의 결점은 생장과정에서 또는 가공 중에 다양한 형태로 발생한다. 따라서 목재를 이용하기 위해서는 목재의 결점을 정확하게 분류하여 용도에 맞는 목재 품질을 객관적으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 하지만 사람에 의한 등급구분과 수종구분은 주관적 판단에 의해 차이가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 목재 품질의 객관적 평가 및 목재 생산의 고속화를 위해서는 컴퓨터 비전을 활용한 화상분석 자동화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 SIFT+k-NN 모델과 CNN 모델을 통해 옹이의 종류를 자동으로 구분하는 모델을 구현하고 그 정확성을 분석해보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 다섯 가지 국산 침엽수종으로부터 다양한 형태의 옹이 이미지 1,172개를 획득하여 학습 및 검증에 사용하였다. SIFT+k-NN 모델의 경우, SIFT 기술을 이용하여 옹이 이미지에서 특성을 추출한 뒤, k-NN을 이용하여 분류를 진행하였으며, 최대 60.53%의 정확도로 분류가 가능하였다. 이 때 k-index는 17이었다. CNN 모델의 경우, 8층의 convolution layer와 3층의 hidden layer로 구성되어있는 모델을 사용하였으며, 정확도의 최대값은 1205 epoch에서 88.09%로 나타나 SIFT+k-NN 모델보다 높은 결과를 보였다. 또한 옹이의 종류별 이미지 개수 차이가 큰 경우, SIFT+k-NN 모델은 비율이 높은 옹이 종류로 편향되어 학습되는 결과를 보였지만, CNN 모델은 이미지 개수의 차이에도 편향이 심하지 않아 옹이 분류에 있어 더 좋은 성능을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 CNN 모델을 이용한 목재 옹이의 분류는 실용가능성에 있어 충분한 정확도를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

Environmental issues about indoor air quality have been increased and focused on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) caused cancer, asthma, and skin disease. Reducing VOCs has been attempted in many different methods such as using environmentally friendly materials and air cleaner or purifier. Charcoal is well known material for absorbing VOCs. Therefore, carbonized board from medium density fiberboard has been developed. We assumed that the source of carbonized boards can be any type of wood-based panels. In this study, carbonized boards were manufactured from oriented strand board (OSB) at 400, 600, 800, and $1000^{\circ}C$. Each carbonized OSB (c-OSB) was evaluated and determined physiomechanical characteristics such as exterior defects, dimensional shrinkage, modulus of elasticity, and bending strength. No external defects were observed on c-OSBs at all carbonizing conditions. As carbonizing temperature increased, less porosity between carbonized wood fibers was observed by SEM analysis. The higher rate of dimensional shrinkage was observed on c-OSB at $1000^{\circ}C$ (66%) than c-OSB at 400, 600, and $800^{\circ}C$ (47%, 58%, and 63%, respectively). The densities of c-OSBs were lower than original OSB, but there was no significant different among the c-OSBs. The bending strength of c-OSB increased 1.58 MPa (c-OSB at $400^{\circ}C$) to 8.03 MPa (c-OSB at $1000^{\circ}C$) as carbonization temperature increased. Carbonization temperature above $800^{\circ}C$ yielded higher bonding strength than that of gypsum board (4.6 MPa). In conclusion, c-OSB may be used in sealing and wall for decorating purpose without additional artwork compare to c-MDF which has smooth surface.

Wood plastic composite (WPC) is a green composite made of wood flour and thermoplastics to provide better performance by removing the defects of both wood and plastics. However, relatively low thermal stability and poor fire resistance of wood and plastics included in WPC have been still issues in using WPC as a building material for interior applications. This study investigated the effect of environmentally-friendly flame retardants (EFFRs) on the mechanical, thermal, morphological, and water absorption properties of wood flour (WF)/talc/polypropylene (PP) composites in comparison with neat PP. The whole EFFRs-filled WF/talc/PP composites showed higher values in flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength compared to neat PP. In thermal properties, aluminum hydroxide (AH)-filled composite showed a $36^{\circ}C$ reduction in maximum thermal decomposition temperature ($T_{max}$) compared to neat PP, but magnesium hydroxide (MH) played an important role in improving thermal stability of filled composite by showing the highest $T_{max}$. From this research, it can be said that MH has potentials in reinforcing PP-based WPCs with improvement of thermal stability.

To increase drying rate and reduce drying degradation, pretreatments such as prefreezing and presteaming have been widely used in wood industries. Presteaming lumbers prior to kiln drying is known positively to improve its permeability, to increase diffusion coefficient and to reduce discoloration, but negatively to increase collapse. Prefreezing lumbers prior to kiln drying is also known to reduce significantly its drying defects and its shrinkages. Thus it is no doubt that the pretreated lumbers shrink diversely from the untreated. In this study the shrinkage behaviors of the pretreated specimens are investigated by drying two tropical hardwoods (Apitong and Taun) in three different dying conditions: high temperature and slow drying rate (drying in a closed cylinder), high temperature and rapid drying rate (drying in an oven) and low temperature and slow drying rate(drying at room temperature). The prefrozen specimens show the least volumetric shrinkages in most drying conditions. The specimens dried in cylinders shrink most among all drying conditions. In general the pretreated specimens reached the 30 % moisture content faster than the untreated by about 30 %.

Round timber materials of 600 mm length, cut from large-cross-section round timber of red pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) of 450 mm width and 4.2 m length, were prepared as the target of kiln drying in this study. After treating the target materials through end sealing (ES), end sealing - kerfing (ES-K), lateral sealing - end sealing - boring (LS-ES-B), or lateral sealing - partial end sealing (LS-PES), the effects of the treatment on the incidence of drying defects were determined. The target materials with exposed lateral surface and sealed cross surface were steamed at the initial temperature of 65℃ above the official pest control temperature of 56℃, followed by kiln drying toward the final temperature of 75℃. The target materials with sealed lateral surfaces, on the other hand, were dried at the initial temperature of 90℃ at almost the maximum temperature of conventional kiln drying, as there is no risk of early check formation caused by surface moisture evaporation. The final temperature was set at approximately 100℃. The drying time, taken for the target materials with initial moisture content of 70%-80% to reach the target moisture content of 19%, varied across treatment conditions. The measured drying time was 1,146 hours (approximately 48 days) for the timber with sealed cross surface and 745 hours (approximately 31 days) for the timber with sealed lateral surface, until the moisture content reached the target level. The formation of surface checks could not be prevented in the control and ES groups, but a definite preventive effect was obtained for the LS-ES-B and LS-PES groups.

우리나라에서 전통주택(한옥) 및 목조건축 문화재의 구조부재로 많이 이용되는 소나무는 천연건조가 일반적이어서 건조에 많은 시간이 소요되고 건조가 불충분하면 수축에 의한 갈라짐 및 변형 등의 결함을 일으킬 수 있다. 소나무 소시험편과 대단면 시험편을 제작하여 함수율상태에 따른 수축률변화를 검토하였다. 특정 함수율 상태에서의 체적수축률을 예측할 경우, 생재상태에서 기건상태, 기건상태에서 전건상태까지의 구간으로 나누어 적용하는 것이 정밀도가 높았다. 변재의 체적수축률은 단면크기에는 상관성이 없으며, 심재는 단면이 커질수록 체적수축률이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
