Construction and Application of Three-Dimensional Structural Data Mining Method for OSB Based on Computer Vision
Oriented strand board (OSB) is a wood-based structural panel
which is primarily composed of long strands. The physical and mechanical properties are closely related to its internal structure. Since the internal structure of OSB is formed through directional alignment and random layered overlapping of strands
precise characterization of the internal structure is crucial for understanding its structure-property relationships. This study proposes a computer vision-based method for constructing the three-dimensional internal structure of
OSB. Strands were prepared by cutting peeled veneer sheets
and 1.2 cm thick OSB panels were fabricated. The mat-forming process was continuously recorded using imaging technology. Computer vision-based techniques were employed to capture strand positions after forming
followed by individual strand contour extraction. Combined with vertical density profile (VDP) data for calculating thickness-direction compression ratios
Python software was utilized to reconstruct the 3D internal structure of OSB. Specimens (5 cm × 5 cm) were prepared to measure weight
VDP
3D structure
and porosity. Results showed that the total number of strands in fabricated OSB was 2 299
with all strands correctly identified and 2 232 strands (97.1%) completely segmented through computer processing. Determination coefficient (
R
2
) between measured and predicted values reached 0.976 for weight
0.951 for porosity
and 0.812 for VDP respectively. Comparative analysis with X-ray computed tomography (CT) showed excellent consistency in 3D visualization. Vision-based construction enables quantitative analysis of orientation angles
surface areas
and resin distribution for all strands. This computer vision approach provides exact visualization and quantification of OSB's internal 3D structure
establishing reliable fundamental data for investigating structure-property relationships in OSB.
