A computer-assisted technique for determining the amount of linear board feet of lumber. The purpose of this invention is to measure the number of linear board feet of lumber contained in a truckload of raw wood. For each truckload, a pair of pictures is taken of each batch of logs that is unloaded. Each pair of photographs is analysed to calculate the diameter of each log. A laser technique is used to measure the length of the log. This computer-assisted process makes it possible to calculate the number of linear board feet, according to the Henry Roy table or any other method, in a truckload of wood. The amount of time required to compile the data is brief, ranging from immediate to five minutes.

Une technique de mesurage du nombre de pieds planche linéaire de bois, assistée par ordinateur. La présente invention a pour but de mesurer le nombre de pieds planche linéaire contenue dans un camion. Pour chaque camion, lors du déchargement, des couples de photos sont prises pour chaque lot de bille de bois qui sont déchargées. Chaque couple de photos est analysé pour calculer le diamètre de chaque bille. En ce qui concerne la mesure de la longueur de la bille une technique laser est utilisée. Ce procédé étant assisté par ordinateur nous permet de calculer le nombre de pieds planche linéaire, selon la table Henry Roy, ou toutes autres méthodes, compris dans un camion. Le temps nécessaire à la compilation des données est court soit entre instantanément et 5 minutes.
