Abstract -
This paper describes a semi-automatic
technique for dendroclimatology. Dating of tree
rings and surveying the environmental changes by
analysing the tree rings pattern in the cross section
of tree image. Many algorithms are proposed, but
still need sufficient improvement in this area. This
paper describes a modified canny algorithm for
detecting the edges and also proposed Hough
transform technique for finding the annual period
of trees and analysis the growth of tree which helps
to get the environment changes in the particular
area.
