Abstract
In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the fully automatic creation of tree ring profiles from CT-images that show the cross-section of a piece of wood. This kind of pattern is needed in wood technology for annual ring feature detection in general and in the field of dendrochronology which concerns itself with the dating of past events through the study of tree ring growth.
