• Abstract: We have developed a methodology for the systematic generation of a large image dataset of macerated wood references, which we used to generate image data for nine hardwood genera. This is the basis for a substantial approach to automate, for the first time, the identification of hardwood species in microscopic images of fibrous materials by deep learning. Our methodology includes a flexible pipeline for easy annotation of vessel elements. We compare the performance of different neural network architectures and hyperparameters. Our proposed method performs similarly well to human experts. In the future, this will improve controls on global wood fiber product flows to protect forests.

  We present a deep learning model, called MaskTerial, that uses an instance segmentation network to reliably identify 2D material flakes. The model is extensively pre-trained using a synthetic data generator, that generates realistic microscopy images from unlabeled data. We demonstrate significant improvements over existing techniques in the detection of low-contrast materials such as hexagonal boron nitride.

• Advanced wood species identification based on multiple anatomical sections and using deep feature transfer and fusion [8.844437603161198]
  Methods like DNA analysis, Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) mass spectrometry complement the long-established wood anatomical assessment of cell and tissue morphology. Most of these methods have some limitations such as high costs, the need for skilled experts for data interpretation, and the lack of good datasets for professional reference. In this paper, we apply two transfer learning techniques with Convolutional Neural Networks to a multi-view Congolese wood species dataset. Our results indicate superior accuracy on diverse datasets and anatomical sections, surpassing the results of other methods.
