Abstract
Lignification of wood fibres has important consequences to the paper production, but its exact effects are not well understood. To correlate exact levels of lignin in wood fibres to their mechanical properties, lignin autofluorescence is imaged in wood fibre cross-sections. Highly lignified areas can be detected and related to the area of the whole cell wall. Presently these measurements are performed manually, which is tedious and expensive. In this paper a method is proposed to estimate the degree of lignification automatically. The method is evaluated manually by an expert. Beside some difficulties segmenting cells that do not conform to our model, there was a highly significant correlation between the two methods
