  • Automatic detection, counting, and measurement of logs using a handheld device
    Patent number: 11189022
    Abstract: A computer-based system (e.g., a handheld device) is configured to detect, count, and measure logs in a stack. A user captures one or more images of the stack. Where multiple images are captured, the system creates a working image by stitching together portions of the image. The system identifies a contour indicating the outline of the stack in the working image and fits ellipses to the log faces in the working image. Information such as the number of logs, the volume of wood in the stack, and the average log diameter may be made available for presentation to the user.
