Physics-Informed Modeling for Wood Thermal Analysis and Prediction

Wood materials exhibit complex, spatially varying thermal properties that challenge traditional architectural assumptions of material homogeneity. Although data-driven approaches can directly map wood RGB images to their corresponding thermal responses, they operate as uninterpretable black boxes that prioritize statistical correlation and may absorb experimental noise rather than thermodynamic plausibility. To address these limitations, we present physics-informed deep learning frameworks that integrate partial differential equations (PDEs) to predict pixel-level thermal responses of spatially heterogeneous wood materials using wood RGB images and testbed temperature maps. Specifically, we investigate two distinct approaches to enforcing a normalized 2D steady-state heat transfer equation derived from the general heat transfer equation: Physics-Informed Convolutional Neural Networks (PICNNs), which embed physics as a soft penalty term in the loss function, and Physics-Integrated Convolutional Neural Networks (PInteCNNs), which hard-code an analytical approximator-predictor-corrector solver directly into convolutional neural networks. To validate our proposed approaches, we collect three real-world multimodal datasets of Poplar, Grandis Cross-Cut (Grandis-CC), and Grandis Radial-Cut (Grandis-RC) wood samples. We further demonstrate that embedding physical inductive biases successfully balances predictive accuracy, physical interpretability, and intra-species diversity, outperforming data-driven approaches in handling complex wood material heterogeneity and enabling the extraction of interpretable physical parameters.
