The
acquisition
of
NIR
spectra
can
be
done
quickly
and
easily
on
a
solid
surface
using

a
fibre
probe
and
spectral
data
processing
can
be
done
immediately
afterwards.
This
type
of

methodology
has
good
potential
for
process
and
product
quality
control
once
models
have
been

calibrated
and
validated
for
the
wood
species
studied.
More
recently,
utilization
of
mechanical

testing
on
wood
before
and
after
a
thermal
modification
process
(non-­‐destructive
methods,
such

as
BING®)
could
allow
quick
and
easy
acquisition
of
resonant
frequency
spectrums
to
estimate
the

heat
treated
wood
properties
(Welzbacher
et
al.
2007;
Hannouz
et
al.
2012).
Finally,
utilization
of

wood
kinetics
based
on
a
reference
area
is
easily
achievable
at
an
industrial
scale
using
a
heat

treatment
device
which
allows
for
dynamic
recording
of
wood
temperature
throughout
the

process
(Candelier
et
al.
2015).

Due
to
differences
of
chemical
composition
and
anatomical
structure
between
untreated
and

heat
treated
woods,
it
is
necessary
to
use
other
quality
characterization
methods
for
modified

and
unmodified
wood.
