The application of the reconstruction software resulted in 3D and 2D representations for logs and trees that allowed the visual appraisal of external shape as well as of the internal knot architecture. Information on tree geometry . taper and knot parameters . knot length diameter and volume and on their variation with tree height could be obtained from the reconstructed logs and stems and may be incorporated in sawing yield studies through simulation as well as in raw material characterisation studies. In the studied trees the average volume percentage of knots varied from for butt logs to for top logs. The knot core represented in of the tree radius from 28 at the stem bottom to 84 at 70 of total tree height. maritime pine modelling wood quality knot dimensions image analysis Résumé - Caractérisation de la forme des futs et des noeuds dans 20 arbres de pin maritime Pinus pinaster Ait. après analyse d image et reconstruction par logiciel.
