A review of recent application of near infrared spectroscopy to wood science and technology Reviewed

Tsuchikawa Satoru, Kobori Hikaru

JOURNAL OF WOOD SCIENCE Vol. 61 ( 3 ) page： 213 - 220 2015.6

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Journal of Wood Science

This review article introduces recent scientific and technical reports due to near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at wood science and technology, most of which was published between 2006 and 2013. Many researchers reported that NIR technique was useful to detect multi traits of chemical, physical, mechanical and anatomical properties of wood materials although it was widely used in a state where characteristic cellular structure was retained. However, we should be sensitive and careful for application of NIRS, when spectra coupled with chemometrics presents unexpected good results (especially, for mechanical physical and anatomical properties). The real application for on-line or at-line monitoring in wood industry is desired as next step. Basic spectroscopic research for wooden material is also progressed. It should be a powerful and meaningful analytical spectroscopic tool.

This study quantified the spatial distribution of moisture content and basic density within Cryptomeria japonica branches using near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging and multivariate data analysis techniques. The hyperspectral data for wood disk samples were acquired using a Compovision NIR Composition Imaging System (Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Yokohama, Japan) with a spectral range of 913-2519 nm. The calibration models for prediction of moisture content and basic density were developed using partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis. The PLS model for moisture content and basic density showed good predictive performance with coefficients of determination 0.82 (RMSEP512.4%) and 0.84 (RMSEP528.0 kg m&lt
sup&gt
-3&lt
/sup&gt
) respectively. The spatial distribution of predicted moisture content clearly detected the low moisture white zone surrounding the heartwood. The high density compression wood could be also visualised with the NIR hyperspectral imaging technique. The results presented here provide useful information for development of a novel log sorting method.

A fast online grading apparatus for sawn lumber based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been developed. The method is based on a novel wavelength dispersive NIR spectrophotometer equipped with a diffraction grating linear sensor and high-intensity lighting. It was possible to acquire spectra from the entire surface of Hinoki cypress lumber sections traveling on a conveyor belt at a speed of 120 m min(-1). Additionally, predictive models for moisture content (MC) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) under various MC conditions were developed from the NIR spectra with the aid of partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis. Both the MC and MOE predictive models demonstrated sufficient levels of prediction accuracy for use on high-speed conveyor belts, and the results of various experiments indicate that the developed device could be applied for the online quality certification of sawn lumber in commercial sawmills.

Authorship：Corresponding author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Taylor and Francis Ltd.

A novel densitometer consisting of a continuous wave near-infrared (NIR) laser source and an avalanche photodiode module as the detector has been designed, which can rapidly and non-destructively measure the density of wood. The wood density of a small area (3.14 mm2) at the radial-transverse face was continuously estimated using the intensity of the transmitted light with the aid of the modified Lambert-Beer law. By conducting a validity evaluation with statistical coefficients, it was shown that the constructed system could obtain the sharp density profile compatible with X-ray densitometer [Root mean squared error of calibration (RMSEC) = 0.045 g cm−3, Root mean squared error of validation (RMSEV) = 0.046 g cm−3). It was concluded that the constructed NIR device has high performance from the viewpoint of operability, measuring time and safety.

Abstract: Non-destructive measurement of wood density using reflectance and transmittance near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has already been reported by several researchers. However, these methods do not allow an independent determination of the spectral contributions of the absorption and scattering effects. In this study, time-of-flight NIRS (TOF-NIRS) was used to measure wood density of seven softwood and hardwood species. A curve fitting procedure was used to resolve the diffusion equation and compute the absorption (µa) and reduced scattering coefficients ((Formula presented.)) from the time-resolved profiles (TRPs) acquired from the wood samples. Statistical parameters were also computed from TRPs and correlated with the wood air-dry density as well as with both optical coefficients. A simple linear regression model was built to relate air-dry wood density to µa (R2 = 0.56, root mean square error [RMSE] = 0.047 g/cm3, p value &lt
0.05). Results obtained were in good agreement with the modified Beer–Lambert law for turbid media. The square root of the (Formula presented.) / (Formula presented.) ratio (which was well correlated with the photons mean path length) was used to correct for the distortion due to scattering in absorbance NIR spectra acquired using reflectance spectroscopy. This research demonstrates the potential of TOF-NIRS to assess wood density and to correct reflectance spectra for scattering effects.

Visualisation of degree of acetylation in beechwood by near infrared hyperspectral imaging Reviewed

Tetsuya Inagaki, Katsuya Mitsui, Satoru Tsuchikawa

JOURNAL OF NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY Vol. 23 ( 6 ) page： 353 - 360 2015

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：N I R PUBLICATIONS

Spatial distributions of the degree of acetylation in cross- and radial-sectional faces of beechwood samples under vapour-phase reaction are observed using near infrared hyperspectral imaging. The near infrared second derivative amplitude at 1727 nm, which is assigned to the first overtone of the CH stretching vibration averaged over the cross section and radial section, has strong linear correlation-with the substance concentration of acetyl groups (CA) held in the cell walls. Tangentially averaged CA is well explained by the modified rate equation. Both the rate constant and hindrance to the diffusion reagent reach constant values at a depth of about 4 mm from the edge of the wood, indicating that the acetylation reaction proceeds close to a depth of 4 mm.

In this study, demonstration of simultaneous prediction of solid wood density and moisture content, both of which are critical in manufacturing operations, of 4 species (Aspen, Birch, Hemlock and Maple) was accomplished using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). THz measurements of wood at various moisture contents were taken for two orientations of the THz field (parallel and perpendicular) with respect to the visible grain. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function averaged over the frequency range of 0.1 to 0.2 THz had strong correlation with density and moisture content of the wood. We extend a model that has been applied previously to oven-dry wood to include the effects of moisture below the fiber saturation point by combining two effective medium models, which allows the dielectric function of water, air and oven-dry cell wall material to be modeled to give an effective dielectric function for the wood. A strong correlation between measured and predicted values for density and moisture content were observed.

Prediction of oven-dry density of wood by time-domain terahertz spectroscopy Reviewed

HOLZFORSCHUNG Vol. 68 ( 1 ) page： 61 - 68 2014.1

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH

Wood is relatively transparent to terahertz (THz) radiation with wavelengths in the submillimeter range. This radiation has a high potential for sensing and imaging wood with a good spatial resolution. THz is especially sensitive to moisture content, fiber alignment, and density - all of which are critical in the manufacturing of wood products. In this work, a systematic study was undertaken on 46 very different wood species by means of THz time-domain spectroscopy with density determination in focus. The dielectric response of wood was modeled based on the Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory. The dielectric function of the cell wall material was found to be extremely consistent over this large number of species with very different properties. This renders possible to determine wood density by THz time-domain spectroscopy. A strong correlation between the measured and predicted densities has been observed for all the samples investigated.

APPLIED SPECTROSCOPY Vol. 67 ( 11 ) page： 1302 - 1307 2013.11

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Applied Spectroscopy

In this study, near-infrared hyperspectral imaging was applied to predict the water content of golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) leaves, after which partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis was performed to predict their averaged water content. The resulting predictive model was then applied to each single-pixel spectra in order to construct a water content image that could be used to evaluate the model's applicability to the single-pixel spectra through partial least squares score comparisons between the averaged spectra used for calibration and the single-pixel spectra. In the next phase, it was determined that a rebuilt PLSR predictive model based on the averaged spectra of an applicable pixel showed higher prediction accuracy than that of the original model. This study provides effective information about the limitations of prediction mapping and the optimization of pixel selections for better calibrations. © 2013 Society for Applied Spectroscopy.

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Applied Spectroscopy Reviews

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. Many researchers have reported that the NIR technique is useful for detection of both chemical and physical properties of wood materials and has been widely used in cases where the characteristic cellular structure of the material is retained. With regard to application of NIR spectroscopy to pulp and paper, many publications have reported its potential as an on-line measurement technique during paper-making process control. NIR spectroscopy is considered fundamental in applied research on wood and paper. Utilization of NIR spectroscopy in the wood and paper industry should take into account its applicability and limitations as a nondestructive technique. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Prediction of dry veneer stiffness using near infrared spectra from transverse section of green log Reviewed Open Access

Takaaki Fujimoto, Keisuke Kawakami, Haruhisa Aimi, Jun-ichi Shimizu, Koichi Hasegawa, Hikaru Kobori, Satoru Tsuchikawa

Journal of Wood Science Vol. 59 ( 5 ) page： 383 - 388 2013.10

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

This study examined the feasibility of near infrared spectroscopy as a novel technique for log assessment on the basis of wood property. Near infrared (NIR) spectra were obtained from the transverse section of green log and multivariate regression analysis was carried out to predict the stiffness of veneer processed from the log. The stiffness of the veneer was dynamic modulus of elasticity measured using ultrasonic method. The calibrations of veneer stiffness had moderate relationships between measured and NIR-predicted values, with regression coefficients ranging from 0.84 to 0.88. The calibration equations were applied to the test set and it was found that predictions were also well fitted, with regression coefficients ranging from 0.67 to 0.89. The results indicate that the variation of wood stiffness within the logs could be assessed using the NIR spectra from the cross-section of logs. The spectra were obtained from green condition of the log and the stiffness of veneer was measured after kiln drying. Thus, the results imply that the wood stiffness in dry condition could be predicted using the spectra collected from green logs. If the models obtained in this study put into the imaging system, the two-dimensional map of the stiffness would be visualized on the cross-section of logs. The NIR spectroscopy coupled with imaging system could compensate the weak point of the traditional methods for log assessment. © 2013 The Japan Wood Research Society.
