A study on tree rings: Dendrochronology using image processing

Abstract

This paper outlines an introduction to dendrochronology. The tree rings are being identified through image processing and statistical simulations. The study of the tree rings is known as dendrochronology but the techniques do need to be modified for better performance. Image analyses convert the tree ring into digital data using imaging tools. This method involves the scaling, piling, width calculation. Technology is required to evaluate the factors of different tree ring pattern. In this review paper, literature survey has been provided which deals with the contribution of different researchers, which methodologies they preferred and what were their limitations. And two attributes are being calculated named MSE and PSNR, as these obtainable values indicates to work further with the enhanced image. Also, researcher can get idea what all the attributes are important to implement this technique.
