An Approach for Dendroclimatology Using Image Processing Techniques

This paper describes an approach for dendroclimatology. Image processing techniques and mathematical models are applied for identifying rings in a tree rings image. Analysing the tree rings pattern is a method of dating the tree, known as dendrochronology. But still the methods have to be improved for better performance. The past climatic changes are recorded in the growth of tree rings. The study of climatic changes in the rings is known as dendroclimatology. The density of tree rings is used to identify the past climate and estimate future also. This paper gives an approach for measuring the distance between two rings which helps for detecting the climate.
