INTRODUCTION.- The physical properties of rock masses are greatly influenced by their internal discontinuities, like pores and fissures. So, these need to be measured as a basis for interpretation. To avoid the basic difficulties of measurement under optical microscopy and analogic image systems, the authors use S.E.M. and multiband digital image processing. In S.E.M., analog signal processing has been used to further image enhancement (1), but automatic information extraction can be achieved by simple digital processing of S.E.M. images (2). The use of multiband image would overcome difficulties such as artifacts introduced by the relative positions of sample and detector or the typicals encountered in optical microscopy.DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING.- The studied rock specimens were in the form of flat deformation-free surfaces observed under a Phillips SEM model 500. The SEM detector output signal was recorded in picture form in b&w negatives and digitized using a Perkin Elmer 1010 MP flat microdensitometer.

Medical practice in general, and dentistry in particular, generatesdata sources, such as high-resolution medical images and electronicmedical records. Digital image processing algorithms takeadvantage of the datasets, enabling the development of dental applicationssuch as tooth, caries, crown, prosthetic, dental implant, andendodontic treatment detection, as well as image classification. Thegoal of image classification is to comprehend it as a whole and classifythe image by assigning it to a specific label. This work presentsthe proposal of a tool that helps the dental prosthesis specialist toexchange information with the laboratory. The proposed solutionuses deep learning to classify image, in order to improve the understandingof the structure required for modeling the prosthesis. Theimage database used has a total of 1215 images. Of these, 60 wereseparated for testing. The prototype achieved 98.33% accuracy.

The shape-preferred orientation (SPO) is a technique, which allows the study of the fabric of deformed rocks and understanding its dominant deformational style and partitioning. This work presents SPO results and methodological aspects for one hand specimen of rock and a high-resolution composed image of an outcrop through digital image processing. The technique involves imaging of three semi-orthogonal oriented sections for digital processing and subsequent implementation in structural software. The image processing consists of digital separation of a phase of interest, i.e. defining the deformational fabric. The processed images are then implemented in the SPO2003® software for acquisition of sectional ellipses and finally implemented in the Ellipsoid2003® software to obtain the characteristic ellipsoid of deformational fabric. For outcrops, due to the difficulty to finding three appropriate sections for photography, it was only obtained a sectional ellipse, characteristic of the rock fabric based on contrasting deformed quartz segregates in mylonitic schists.
