This review article introduces recent technical and scientific reports on near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy in the wood and paper industry, which have increased during the last decade …

This review article examines past and current research on the application of near-infrared
(NIR) reflectance/transmittance spectroscopy (NIRS) for real-time monitoring of moisture …

Predicting the properties of structural timber using a rapid and reliable non-destructive
method is a critical quality control task in production. This study investigates using infrared …

In the present study, we identify similar Pinus species that have been used as building
materials for traditional architecture in Korea. Discriminant models were designed to identify …

The content of water in fiber suspension and affects pulp refining, bleaching and draining
operations. Cellulose pulp dryness estimate through near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy …

Moisture is one of the most important wood properties because its variation directly
influences the material strength and density. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop near …

This paper addresses the precision in factor loadings during partial least squares (PLS) and
principal components regression (PCR) of wood chemistry content from near infrared …

The research examines the possibility of predicting the mechanical [modulus of rupture
(MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE)] and physical (oven-dry and air-dry densities) …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has high potential as a rapid nondestructive approach to
identifying wood species and estimating properties that affect their utilization. This study …

The feasibility of a portable NIR sensor for off-line determination of diverse wood quality
aspects relevant in the production of glue-laminated timber was demonstrated. The best …
