Abstract

In this work we focus on investigating the use of multiple feature vectors for forest species recognition. As consequence, we propose a framework to deal with the extraction of multiple feature vectors based on two approaches: image segmentation and multiple feature sets. Experiments conducted on a 112 species database containing microscopic images of wood demonstrate that with the proposed framework we can increase the recognition rates of the system from about 55.7% (with a single feature vector) to about 93.2%.
