NeuralWood Spruce Boards: Raw Dataset

The scans were conducted in two different sites: (1) the Microtec Lab in Brixen, Italy and (2) HBS Berga Sawmill Facilty in Berga, Germany. This data will only contain shareable metadata. End Grain Image End grain images taken by ICD/CA from some spruce board samples were documented using mobile-phone cameras and processed for image cleaning using custom Python script.

This data will be used to train an artificial neural network based growth ring extraction model. Hygro Measurement Data Hygromeasurement data from small scale spruce samples (taken from the project's material stock) was acquired by MPA. Destructive Test Data Experimental destructive test data from a small amount of spruce samples (taken from the project's material stock) was acquired by ICD/CA using material testing lab at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Stuttgart, operated by ITKE.

Note

The JSON naming convention SP_B_XXX.json or SP_M_XXX.jsoncorresponds to the specific board ID numbering used throughout the project. Requesting Access to Actual Fiber Orientation Matrix Data Researchers requiring access to the actual fiber orientation matrix data (protected data) for purposes of academic verification, methodological comparison, or replication may submit an access request to the project team (please use the Contact Owner button above).

Access to the protected data can only be granted following a coordinated communication and approval process involving: The requesting researcher or institution The project research team Microtec Srl. Approval is subject to agreement by all parties and requires the signing of a Data Use Agreement (DUA). Although the scanning services were commissioned by the project, the intellectual property embedded in the raw dataset, including proprietary scanner parameters, industrial workflows, and trade secrets, remains the property of Microtec Srl. and must not be disclosed, redistributed, published, or reverse-engineered.

Requests that cannot be approved by Microtec Srl. will not be granted access, regardless of academic intent. Actual data distribution might be conducted by Microtec Srl. directly.
