Abstract

Image quilting can be used to colourise virtually sawn boards from logs scanned using X-ray computed tomography through the use of a correspondence image pair where both the colour and density is known. The method could allow for easier understanding of simulation studies where logs scanned using X-ray computed tomography are virtually sawn.
