Abstract
Image processing techniques are efficiently utilized in diverse real-life areas. Tree rings are warehouse of information concerning the tree age and past climatic conditions, but analysis of this information is a difficult process and requires high level of expertise. Researchers thus have utilized image processing techniques for effective automation of the system. An attempt has been made in the manuscript to summarize the pros and cons of studies that mainly focus on different aspects of tree ring analysis. The performance of techniques is basically analyzed to recognize those that can be applied on different tree rings for analysis. Discovering various acceptable techniques, the manuscript mainly highlights numerous points of consideration. The survey presented in manuscript would be helpful to researchers to get understanding of machine vision applications for tree ring analysis.
