The Forest Species Database (FSD) is composed of 2,240 microscopic images from 112 different species from two groups (Hardwood and Softwood), 85 genera and 30 families, . The images were acquired from the sheets of wood using a Olympus Cx40 microscope with 100 times zoom. The resulting color images were saved in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format with no compression and a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels. The figure below provides some samples of the database.

Characteristics

The FSD 1.0 is structured as follows:

  • 112 species – 20 images per species = 2,240 images.

How to obtain access to the images

The FS Database may be used for non-commercial research provided you acknowledge the source of the image by citing the following paper in publications about your research:
