Abstract :
Surface inspection methods are strategic to accurately monitor the quality of the wood panel surface. Optical techniques represent a unique solution to develop inexpensive, simple, and compact, solid-state sensors. In this paper we propose a preliminary study oriented to investigate the use of light scattering technique to perform online measurements of wood panel surface roughness.
