Title
CarDen: A software for fast measurement of wood density on increment cores by CT scanning.
Abstract
•A method for assessing wood density on large increment cores sampling is described.•The method based on X-ray CT scanning is fast (3000 samples/h) and semi-automatic.•The method was found to be accurate and unbiased for 5 mm diameter cores.•The software outputs radial profiles of density.•Correct mean density taking into account radial variations can be computed.•The method is yet applied by the French forest inventory on thousands of cores.
