Abstract

This article exposes wood pieces classification method according to their color. The main difficulties encountered by the Company are primarily in the color recognition according to a certain graduality, and the decision to take on all the board with the different sides. These problems imply the use of flexible/robust model and the use of an “intelligent” information management delivered by the sensors. In order to improve the current system, we propose to integrate a method, whose principle is a fuzzy inference system, itself built thanks to fuzzy linguistic rules. The results obtained with our method show a real improvement of the recognition rate compared to a bayesian classifier already used by the Company.
