Description: Computerized tomography (CT) can be used to assess certain
        wood properties when wood disks or logs are scanned. Wood
        density profiles (i.e. variations of wood density from pith to
        bark) can yield important information used for studies in
        forest resource assessment, wood quality and dendrochronology
        studies. The first step consists in transforming grey values
        from the scan images to density values. The packages then
        proposes a unique method to automatically locate the pith by
        combining an adapted Hough Transform method and a
        one-dimensional edge detector. Tree ring profiles (average ring
        density, earlywood and latewood density, ring width and percent
        latewood for each ring) are then obtained.
