XyloTron
XyloTron is a wood identification system that uses a custom-designed imaging device, image analysis, and statistical processing software to identify more than 150 species of wood — all from a laptop. This is critical, because illegal logging decimates habitats and threatens biodiversity. With XyloTron, authorities now have a way to consistently and accurately identify wood types when they pass through customs.*
