Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of forestry technology, and in particular to a digital quantitative method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for detecting changes in wood structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of the "dual carbon" strategic goals, the efficient development and high-value utilization of biomass materials has become an important research direction in the field of materials science. Wood, as a typical natural anisotropic biomass material, exhibits significant dimensional deformation, morphological changes, and structural response characteristics in its internal structural units (such as annual rings and wood rays) under dynamic environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity changes or external force loading. These responses are not only reflected in overall expansion or contraction at the macroscopic scale, but also in complex local non-uniform deformation and structural shift behavior at the microscopic scale.

[0003] Currently, traditional tools, such as vernier calipers and micrometers, are commonly used to measure and compare macroscopic dimensional changes in biomass materials. Alternatively, electron microscopes are used to observe and compare microscopic dimensional changes in biomass materials locally. Using traditional tools to measure the straight-line distance between two points on the material only reflects local linear length changes. For example, US patent US5873182A places a displacement sensor on the surface of the board to measure its surface shrinkage, achieving continuous measurement of microscopic dimensional changes. However, it is difficult to characterize the overall morphological changes and local response characteristics of wood in complex environments, i.e., the coordinate shifts and morphological changes of irregular boundaries and sectional features such as wood rays and growth rings. While local observation and comparison can observe the differences in response and local deformation behavior of sectional structural features (such as growth rings and wood rays) at the microscale, quantitative comparison is not possible, making it difficult to reveal the specific adaptation mechanisms of different structural units to dynamic environments.

[0025] For ease of understanding, the following uses cross-sectional scan images of wood samples after one drying, 48-hour soaking, and two drying cycles of compressed fir wood as an example to illustrate the digital quantitative and detection method for wood structural changes provided by this invention.

[0026] Wood possesses characteristic structures such as rays and growth rings, and compressed wood exhibits a more drastic and varied response to temperature and humidity changes. After compression, Chinese fir was treated in a 0.3 MPa superheated steam environment for 2 hours to fix its compression deformation. A 20 mm (L) × 20 mm (R) × 20 mm (T) block of Chinese fir was used as the research object, and its cross-section was polished. The selected Chinese fir compressed material was surface-compressed, meaning only the surface layer was directionally compressed. The boundary between the compressed and uncompressed layers was defined as the compression boundary, allowing for the tracking of its morphological and dimensional changes under varying temperature and humidity conditions.

[0027] Figure 2 These are cross-sectional scan images of wood samples in different states provided by this invention, such as... Figure 2As shown, the compressed fir lumber was first placed in a 103℃ oven for oven-drying; then, it was soaked in cold water for 48 hours; afterwards, it was removed, air-dried, and then placed back into the 103℃ oven for oven-drying. After each treatment, the polished surface of the sample was scanned (using a flatbed image scanner, 48-bit full-color scanning mode, scanning resolution of 12800 dpi), and the results were obtained as shown below. Figure 2 (a) shows a single dryness (AD 1), as Figure 2 (b) shows the soaking time of 48 hours (WA 48 hours), and as shown in the figure. Figure 2 (c) shows a cross-sectional image of the sample under secondary drying (AD 2).

[0028] The present invention provides a digital quantitative method for detecting changes in wood structure, which acquires a cross-sectional scan image of a wood sample; extracts feature structures from the cross-sectional scan image to obtain the external contour, internal growth rings, and wood rays of the wood sample; and determines the perimeter of the external contour, the length of the growth rings, the length of the wood rays, and the angle between the wood rays and the growth rings based on the external contour, the internal growth rings, and the wood rays. When wood is placed in a dynamic environment or under load, its cross-sectional feature structure will change to varying degrees due to differences in the chemical composition of different cell structures or the different treatment states of the same cell structure. The present invention achieves a quantitative description of changes in the microscopic feature structure of the wood cross-section by uniformly extracting and recording the feature structures of the scanned image.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the step of extracting feature structures from the cross-sectional scan image to obtain the external contour, internal growth rings, and wood rays of the wood sample includes: The cross-sectional scan image was used to extract feature structures using a chart data extraction tool to obtain the external contour, internal growth rings, and wood rays of the wood sample.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the chart data extraction tool is a software tool used to extract chart data from images, converting scanned images into digital data, thereby facilitating further analysis and use.

[0031] Optionally, Getdata Graph Digitizer 2.25 can be used to visualize, extract, label, and record the feature structures within the high-resolution cross-sectional image.

[0032] Furthermore, the step of using a chart data extraction tool to extract feature structures from the cross-sectional scan image to obtain the external contour, internal growth rings, and wood rays of the wood sample includes: Using the chart data extraction tool, a coordinate system is established with the lower left corner of the cross-sectional scan image as the origin, the radial direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the X-axis, and the chordal direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the Y-axis, to obtain the coordinate information of the outer contour, internal annual rings, and wood rays of the wood sample.

[0033] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the coordinate system provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the radial direction of the sample (image width direction) is taken as the X-axis, and the chordal direction of the sample (image height direction) is taken as the Y-axis, as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (a), the origin (0, 0) is the intersection of the X-axis and the Y-axis (i.e., the lower left corner of the image). The edge pixel at the lower right corner of the image is Xmax (the value is the image pixel width × 2.54 / 12800 cm), and the upper left corner of the image is Ymax (the value is the image pixel height × 2.54 / 12800 cm).

[0034] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the feature structure information provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the characteristic structures of oriented compressed fir lumber include the external profile and internal annual rings, wood rays, and compression boundaries. For example... Figure 4 As shown in (a), it includes transverse wood rays and longitudinal growth rings; as Figure 4 As shown in (b), it includes transverse wood rays and longitudinal compression boundaries; the feature structure is captured in the form of points and lines using a chart data extraction tool, and the following can be obtained based on the established coordinate system: Figure 4 (c) shows the specific coordinate information contained in the feature structure.

[0035] The digital quantitative detection method for changes in wood structure provided in this invention constructs a coordinate system with the lower left corner of the image as the origin, thereby quantitatively determining the position of feature points in the scanned image and providing quantitative data for the analysis of compressed wood structure.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, after determining the perimeter of the outer contour, the length of the annual rings, the length of the wood ray, and the angle between the wood ray and the annual ring based on the outer contour, the inner annual rings, and the wood rays, the method further includes: Based on the internal growth rings, the wood rays, and the angle between the wood rays and the growth rings of the wood sample, a schematic diagram of feature lines and angles is generated; the schematic diagram of feature lines and angles reflects the structural relationship between the growth rings and the wood rays.

[0037] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the digitized feature lines and included angles provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 5As shown, based on the coordinate information of the characteristic structure, after simple data processing, information such as the outer contour perimeter of the sample, the length of the annual rings, the length of the wood rays, and the angle between the wood rays and the annual rings can be obtained.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, after using the chart data extraction tool to establish a coordinate system with the lower left corner of the cross-sectional scan image as the origin, the radial direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the X-axis, and the chordal direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the Y-axis, and obtaining the coordinate information of the outer contour, internal annual rings, and wood rays of the wood sample, the method further includes: Based on the coordinate information of the external contour, internal growth rings, and wood rays, the radial dimension variation, tangential dimension variation, perimeter variation, and area variation of the wood sample are calculated.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the coordinate information, specific quantitative values ​​such as radial dimension change, tangential dimension change, perimeter change, and area change of the wood sample can be calculated using the coordinate information corresponding to the pixel points.

[0040] The digital quantitative and detection method for wood structural changes provided in this invention provides a precise and targeted quantitative description of the characteristic structural changes of biomass materials based on coordinate information, thereby accurately determining the amount of microstructural changes in biomass materials.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, after using the chart data extraction tool to establish a coordinate system with the lower left corner of the cross-sectional scan image as the origin, the radial direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the X-axis, and the chordal direction of the cross-sectional scan image as the Y-axis, and obtaining the coordinate information of the outer contour, internal annual rings, and wood rays of the wood sample, the method further includes: Based on the coordinate information of the outer contour of the wood sample, a schematic diagram of the outer contour change is generated; Based on the coordinate information of the internal annual rings of the wood sample, a schematic diagram of annual ring changes is generated; Based on the coordinate information of the wood rays in the wood sample, a schematic diagram of the wood ray changes is generated.

[0042] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the changes in the characteristic structure of wood samples under different states provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 6 (a) shows a schematic diagram of the change in the outer contour, reflecting the change in the overall outer contour morphology of the wood sample.

[0043] A diagram illustrating annual ring changes is shown below. Figure 6As shown in (b), the annual ring characteristics of wood samples under three different conditions—first drying, soaking for 48 h, and second drying—were compared. It was found that during water absorption and drying, the annual rings did not move parallel but rather at a certain angle. Compared to the first drying, the angle of movement of the annual rings was smaller after soaking for 48 h, and they were approximately parallel. Compared to the first drying, the angle of movement was larger after the second drying, and the annual rings tended to be perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0044] A schematic diagram of the changes in wood rays is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in (c), the wood rays in the wood sample exhibit a stepped variation due to the presence of the compression layer, and their tilting trends are similar. The lengths of the upper, middle, and lower wood rays differ significantly under the first oven-drying condition, being 2.478 cm, 2.334 cm, and 2.276 cm, respectively (due to the overall shape of the sample being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the lengths of the wood rays also decrease from top to bottom). After the second oven-drying, the difference in length between the three wood rays decreases, becoming 2.360 cm, 2.313 cm, and 2.315 cm, respectively.

[0045] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the change in the compression boundary provided by the present invention, wherein, Figure 7 (a) is a schematic diagram showing the change in the compression boundary of a once-dry wood sample. Figure 7 (b) is a schematic diagram showing the change in the compression boundary of a wood sample soaked for 48 hours. Figure 7 (c) is a schematic diagram illustrating the change in the compression boundary of a wood sample after a second oven-drying process. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the compression layer has undergone angular movement, similar to the movement and change trend of the tree rings. This may be due to the inconsistent structure on both sides of the compression layer, and the fact that the distribution of textures such as tree rings cannot be completely perpendicular to the compression direction, resulting in an uneven degree of compression density. One side is denser, and after encountering water, more stress is released, resulting in greater rebound.

[0046] The digital quantitative and detection method for wood structural changes provided in this invention generates visualized schematic diagrams of outer contour changes, annual ring changes, and wood ray changes based on coordinate information. These diagrams reflect the changes in the structural characteristics of the wood cross-section under different external forces, revealing the anisotropic mechanical response mechanism of wood.

[0047] In summary, the digital quantitative detection method for wood structural changes provided by this invention takes the cross-section of wood as the research object. It precisely extracts, displays, and records the characteristic structural information (including but not limited to annual rings and wood rays) on the cross-section through scanning, marking, and connecting operations. When wood is placed in a dynamic environment or under load, its cross-sectional characteristic structure will change to varying degrees due to differences in the chemical composition of different cell structures or the different treatment states of the same cell structure. During changes in the external environment (temperature, humidity, load), a unified series of operations such as scanning, marking, and connecting are used to extract and record the coordinates, dimensions, and morphological changes of different characteristic structures on the cross-section. By comparing the specific changes of different characteristic structures under different states, quantitative analysis and visualization of differences in the characteristic structure of the wood cross-section are achieved.
