The moisture content (MC) control is vital in the wood drying process. The study was based on BP (Back Propagation) neural network algorithm to predict the change of wood MC during the drying process of a high frequency vacuum. The data of real-time online measurement were used to construct the model, the drying time, position of measuring point, and internal temperature and pressure of wood as inputs of BP neural network model. The model structure was 4-6-1 and the decision coefficient R-2 and Mean squared error (Mse) of the training sample were 0.974 and 0.07355, respectively, indicating that the neural network model had superb generalization ability. Compared with the experimental measurements, the predicted values conformed to the variation law and size of experimental values, and the error was about 2% and the MC prediction error of measurement points along thickness direction was within 2%. Hence, the BP neural network model could successfully simulate and predict the change of wood MC during the high frequency drying process.
