Abstract：A model of outline extraction of bundled logs cross section based upon pixel feature and edge structure is developed to improve bundled logs image processing. A support vector machine (SVM) is used to extract the pixels of cross section of logs, and the least square method is applied to fit the circle of edge pixels. Finally, outlines of bundled logs are extracted. The obtained results of experiment demonstrate the validity of the proposed method in the case of the cross section of logs is not the ideal smooth and the background is complex.
