It uses a high resolution scanner and a PC. A program to process scanned tree-ring images was developed in Interactive Data Language (IDL 5.0) environment. The method successfully performs interactive tree-ring image analysis without high-cost complex equipment. A simple test was used to check the precision of ring width measurements from a sliced tree sample, Pinus taeda on Southern Brazil. %K Digital image processing %K tree ring image %K image data analysis %K time series %U http://www.geofisica.unam.mx/unid_apoyo/editorial/publicaciones/investigacion/geofisica_internacional/anteriores/2004/02/Rigozo.pdf
