A "woodprintTM" characterization and identification technique unique employs cameras (16), lighting (14), camera interface hardware (18), a computer (20), and/or image processing software to collect and analyze surface characteristics of pieces of wood (8) to track them through an automated production process in real-time with information that is specific to each wood piece (8), such as what machining is required, its value, and/or its destination. When a wood piece (8) reaches a point in the production process where a decision is required, its unique identity is used to retrieve appropriate information previously determined and assigned to the wood piece (8).

L'invention concerne une technique unique d'identification et de caractérisation "woodprint<SP>TM</SP>", faisant appel à des caméras (16), à un éclairage (14), à un matériel d'interface de caméra (18), à un ordinateur (20), et/ou à un logiciel de traitement d'image, pour recueillir et pour analyser des caractéristiques de surface de morceaux de bois (8), pour les tracer lors de leur procédé de production automatisé, en temps réel, et avec des informations spécifiques à chaque morceau de bois (8), notamment, le type d'usinage voulu, la valeur du bois, et/ou sa destination. Lorsqu'un morceau de bois (8) atteint un point du procédé de production où une décision est nécessaire, son identité unique est utilisée pour extraire des informations appropriées préalablement prédéterminées et attribuées à ce morceau de bois (8).
