Last decade's advances and modern aspects of near infrared spectroscopy are critically
examined and reviewed. Innovative instrumentation, highlighted by portable and imaging …

Wood chips are the primary sources of raw materials for numerous industries, including
pelleting mills, biorefineries, pulp-and-paper industries, and biomass-based power …

This chapter describes the basic physical properties of wood and wood-based materials
such as density, thermal properties, electrical properties, friction, optical properties …

Monitoring the moisture content (MC) of wood and avoiding large MC variation is a crucial
task as a large moisture spread after drying significantly devalues the product, especially in …

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 …

Conventional near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has shown its potential to separate wood
species nondestructively based on the aggregate effect of light absorption and scattering …

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 …

Light source plays an important role in visible and near-infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy
detection systems. Traditionally, halogen tungsten lamps are used in most studies and …

This paper compares the feasibility of classifying building façade materials in situ via a low-
cost multispectral imaging camera with 5 bands compared to a high-cost, short-wave …

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 …
