RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Infrared thermography for wood density estimation A1 López Rodríguez, Gamaliel A1 Basterra Otero, Luis Alfonso A1 Acuña Rello, Luis K1 Timber - Structures K1 Madera - Estructuras AB Infrared thermography (IRT) is becoming a commonly used technique to non-destructively inspect andevaluate wood structures. Based on the radiation emitted by all objects, this technique enables theremote visualization of the surface temperature without making contact using a thermographic device.The process of transforming radiant energy into temperature depends on many parameters, and interpreting the results is usually complicated. However, some works have analyzed the operation of IRTand expanded its applications, as found in the latest literature.This work analyzes the effect of density on the thermodynamic behavior of timber to be determined byIRT. The cooling of various wood samples has been registered, and a statistical procedure that enables one to quantitatively estimate the density of timber has been designed. This procedure represents a newmethod to physically characterize this material.
