CS-TRD: a Cross Sections Tree Ring Detection method
This work describes a Tree Ring Detection method for complete Cross-Sections of Trees (CS-TRD) that detects, processes and connects edges corresponding to the tree's growth rings. The method depends on the parameters for the Canny Devernay edge detector (sigma), a resize factor, the number of rays, and the pith location. The first five are fixed by default. The pith location can be marked manually or using an automatic pith detection algorithm. Besides the pith localization, CS-TRD is fully automated and achieves an F-Score of 89% in the UruDendro dataset (of Pinus taeda) and 97% in the Kennel dataset (of Abies alba) without specialized hardware requirements.

Pith detection in tree cross-sections is essential for forestry and wood quality analysis but remains a manual, error-prone task. This study evaluates deep learning models -- YOLOv9, U-Net, Swin Transformer, DeepLabV3, a…
Iterative Next Boundary Detection for Instance Segmentation of Tree Rings in Microscopy Images of Shrub Cross Sections
We address the problem of detecting tree rings in microscopy images of shrub cross sections. This can be regarded as a special case of the instance segmentation task with several unique challenges such as the concentric …

Here, we propose Deep CS-TRD, a new automatic algorithm for detecting tree rings in whole cross-sections. It substitutes the edge detection step of CS-TRD by a deep-learning-based approach (U-Net), which allows the appli…
Edge DetectionTRAS: An Interactive Software for Tracing Tree Ring Cross Sections
Tree ring marking remains a key step in dendrometry and dendrochronology, but it is often performed manually, making the process time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale to large image datasets. We present the …
