Wood species recognition from wood images with an improved CNN

With the development of convolutional neural networks, aiming at the problem of low efficiency and low accuracy in the process of wood species recognition, a recognition method using an improved convolutional neural network is proposed in this article. First, a large-scale wood dataset was constructed based on the WOOD-AUTH dataset and the data collected. Then, a new model named W_IMCNN was constructed based on Inception and mobilenetV3 networks for wood species identification. Experimental results showed that compared with other models, the proposed model had better recognition performance, such as shorter training time and higher recognition accuracy. In the data set constructed by us, the accuracy of the test set reaches 96.4%. We used WOOD-AUTH dataset to evaluate the model, and the recognition accuracy reached 98.8%. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, the effectiveness of the W_IMCNN were confirmed.
