Abstract
A system for characterization of lumber is presented. The system includes a computing module having processor that generates a first fiducial to be printed on the lumber. The system includes an applicator module having a first printer that prints the first fiducial onto the lumber. The system includes a vision module having a camera that captures the first fiducial as printed on the lumber. The processor of the computing module determines lumber information based on a print distortion of the first fiducial as printed on the lumber. The first printer of the applicator module prints a label including the lumber information onto the lumber.

A system for characterization of lumber, the system comprising:
- a computing module having processor that generates a first fiducial to be printed on the lumber;
- an applicator module having a first printer that prints the first fiducial onto the lumber;
- a vision module having a camera that captures the first fiducial as printed on the lumber;
- wherein the processor determines lumber information based on a print distortion of the first fiducial as printed on the lumber;
- and
- wherein the first printer prints a label including the lumber information onto the lumber.
A method for automatically characterizing lumber, the method comprising:
- generating, using a processor, a first fiducial to be printed on the lumber;
- printing, using a first printer, the first fiducial onto the lumber;
- capturing, using a camera, the first fiducial as printed on the lumber;
- determining, using the processor, lumber information based on a print distortion of the first fiducial as printed on the lumber;
- and
- printing, using the first printer, a label including the lumber information onto the lumber.
