Automatic Classification of Wood Texture Using Local Binary Pattern & Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor

Abstract

The price of the wood according to the type of wood. Classification of the woods can be done by studying its texture. This paper introduces Fuzzy k Nearest Neighbor to classify 25 types of wood. The woods images have been taken from the Wood Database of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence & Robotics, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The features of wood images are extracted using Local Binary Pattern. The results of this paper shows improvement in wood classification compare to the previous literature.
