Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Artificially Weathered Wood by Color Change and Machine Learning

Color parameters were used in this study to develop a machine learning model for predicting the mechanical properties of artificially weathered fir, alder, oak, and poplar wood. A CIELAB color measuring system was employed to study the color changes in wood samples. The color parameters were fed int...
