Creating synthetic log end face images

In this paper we present the design and creation of synthetic images of log end faces. The images are constructed to resemble images of Scots pine taken in on-line sawmill production. Wood features such as knots, heartwood, and annual rings, as well as the sawing procedure, storage, and imaging, including camera position, are simulated. A dataset of 100 images is provided, together with code for generating new synthetic data.
