The best method of measuring wood diameter is a contact-type device: however, obtaining an accurate result can be problematic under certain circumstances. In this study, we used a laser beam and a CCD camera that did not require contact with wood. The wood is illuminated by the laser beam, and the CCD camera captures this illumination. The measurement results were determined by processing of the captured image sequences. This paper explains the use of image processing and laser systems for measurement of wood under circumstances in which physical contact is impossible.

A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood G. biloba, ring-porous wood A. altissima, and diffuse- porouswood D. kaki. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents (MC). The length, lumen diameter, pit diameter, end wall pit diameter and the numbers of end wall pits determined for the flow rate. The liquid flow in the those cells was captured via video and the capillary flow rate in the ones were measured. Vessel in hardwood species and tracheids in softwood was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration. Radial flow speed was found highest in ray parenchyma of G. biloba. Anatomical features like the length and diameter, end-wall pit numbers of ray parenchyma were found also responsible fluid flow differences. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Therefore, the average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal tracheids of G. biloba was found the highest among all cells considered in D. kaki and A. altissima.

The objectives of this study are to obtain the basic knowledge of anatomical characteristics and wood properties of thinning trees of young teak (Tectona grandis L.F.) for fulfill the timber demand in Indonesia. Nine thinning trees of 5-year-old teak clone trees were used for analyzing the cell morphology and air-dry density. Vessel diameters in pore and outer pore zones were 165 and $90{\mu}m$, respectively. Mean value of fiber diameter, cell wall thickness, and fiber length in outer pore zone were $14.6{\mu}m$, $2.07{\mu}m$, and 1.04 mm, respectively. In addition, mean value of air-dry density was $0.55g/cm^3$. The measurement and values of vessel diameter, fiber diameter, cell wall thickness, fiber length and air-dry density in the experimental had lower than those in the older teak. Therefore, it could be suggested that the wood from thinning young teaks was not appropriate as construction material, but it could be used for furniture which do not need high of strength properties. Furthermore, since the measurements values of anatomical characteristics were still increasing from pith to bark, it could be suggested that 5-year-old teak clones are still in a juvenile phase. Positively significant correlations were found between air-dry density and cell wall thickness, indicating that cell wall thickness is strongly correlated with wood density of teak.

A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood Thuja orientalis L., diffuse-porous wood Gmelina arborea Roxb., and ring-porous wood Phellodendron amurense Rupr., Longitudinal flow was considered from bottom to top while the radial flow was considered from bark to pith directions. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents(MC). The variation of penetration speed for different species was observed and the reasons behind for this variation were explored. The highest radial penetration depth was found in ray parenchyma of T. orientalis but the lowest one was found in ray parenchyma of P. amurense. The average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal trachied of T. orientalis was found the highest among all the other cells. The penetration depth in fiber of G. arborea was found the lowest among the other longitudinal cells. It was found that cell dimension and also meniscus angle of safranine solution with cell walls were the prime factors for the variation of liquid flow speed in wood. Vessel was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration for hardwood species. The penetration depth in vessel of G. arborea was found highest among all vessels. Anatomical features like ray parenchyma cell length and diameter, end-wall pits number were found also responsible fluid flow differences. Initially liquid penetration speed was high and the nit gradually decreased in an uneven rate. Liquid flow was captured via video and the penetration depths in those cells were measured. It was found that even in presence of abundant rays in hardwood species, penetration depth of liquid in radial direction of softwood species was found high. Herein the ray length, lumen area, end wall pit diameter determined the radial permeability. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Following a go-stop-go cycle, the penetration speed of a liquid decreased over time.

The purposes of this study are to calculate the green and dried weight using wood discs, to figure out weight change on air drying times, and to develop the model of wood disc weight change for Larix kaempferi, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus densiflora. The variables affecting the weight change were investigated, and the pattern of weight change over time was figured out through linear models. When comparing the stem green weight calculated using wood discs in this study with the weight table of Korea Forest Service, the weight was not significantly different for L. kaempferi and P. koraiensis. On the other hand, in comparison of stem dried weight, the weight was significantly different in all of three species. In addition, various measurement factors were examined to figure out the relationship with weight change, and air drying times and disc diameter were found as significant independent variables. Finally, two linear models were developed to estimate air drying times of three species, fit statistics were significant for practical use.

국내산 밤나무 목재의 효율적 이용을 위한 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 밤나무 7품종(단택, 이취, 이평, 만성, 은기, 유마, 축파)의 목재 해부학적 특성의 방사방향 변이성을 조사하였다. 즉, 횡단면에서 도관요소의 방사 및 접선 직경, 개수 및 방사조직 밀도를 그리고 접선단면에서 방사조직 높이 및 개수를 광학현미경법으로 측정하였다. 밤나무 7품종 목재에 있어 조재 도관요소의 방사 직경이 접선 직경보다 더 컸으며, 방사 및 접선 직경은 수령 증가에 따라 점차 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 단위 면적 당 도관요소의 개수는 수령 증가에 따라 점차 감소하는 경향이 있었다. 방사조직 밀도는 수령 증가에 따른 증감의 변화 없이 거의 일정하였다. 방사조직의 개수는 수령 증가에 따라 점차 증가하는 경향이 있었고, 이와 대조적으로 방사조직의 높이는 낮아지는 경향이 나타났다. 방사조직의 높이가 높을수록 단위 면적($mm^2$) 당 방사조직 개수는 감소하고 방사조직의 높이가 낮을수록 방사조직 개수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 방사조직 밀도를 제외한 도관요소 및 방사조직 특성들은 밤나무의 성숙재와 미성숙재를 판단하는 지표로 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 밤나무의 품종별 구분이 가능할 것으로 생각되었다.

본 연구는 산불의 발생과 확산위험성의 지표인 산불연료의 수분함량과 산불위험도의 변화를 예측하기 위한 산불연료습도 자동화 측정센서를 개발하였다. 이 측정센서는 산불연료의 함수율을 전기저항으로 측정하여 자동으로 산불연료의 함수율을 산정하는 방법이다. 이 센서에 사용된 산불연료는 소나무(길이 50cm, 직경 1.5cm)이고, 함수율과 전기저항과의 관계를 추정하는 전기저항=2E(E:Exponent of 10)+13X(X:함수율)-9.705(R²=0.947)인 환산식을 개발하였다. 또한, 이를 이용하여 자동화된 산불연료습도 자동화 측정센서의 소프트웨어와 함체를 설계하여 시제품을 제작하였고, 이를 다시 산림 내에서 현장 모니터링 검증을 실시하여 적합성(R²=0.824)을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 산불의 발생, 확산과 강도를 예측할 수 있는 기술의 개발에 도움을 주며, 산불위험예보 기술의 고도화를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

강우 후 경과일수에 따른 연료습도 변화는 산불위험도 예측과 산불감시원 활용에 매우 중요하다. 따라서 이러한 산불위험 조건을 구명하기 위해 2007년 봄철 영동지방 소나무림에서 임분 밀도별로 5mm 이상 강우 후 지표에 떨어져 있는 고사한 나뭇가지의 직경이 0.6cm 이하, 0.6~3.0cm, 3.0~6.0cm, 6.0cm 이상에 대한 연료습도변화 예측모델을 개발하였다. 연구결과 지표연료의 직경이 작고, 소임분일수록 연료습도의 감소가 빠르게 진행되었으며 산불위험 연료습도에 도달하는 날짜도 소임분 직경 0.6cm 이하의 경우 2일차, 직경 0.6~3.0cm의 경우 3일차로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 각 직경별 연료습도변화 예측모델($R^2=0.76{\sim}0.92$)을 개발하였으며, 2008년 동일기간의 강우 후 기상 실측자료를 적용하여 예측모델을 검증한 결과 1% 수준에서 유의성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
