The percentages of delamination of Compacted Bamboo Guadua were calculated using digital images processing. Three processes were done in the development of this project: tests of delamination, digital image pre-processing and digital image processing of the images acquired. The test of delamination followed the ASTM 5824. The digital image pre-processing was supported on the acquisition of sequences of images, doing a sweeping of the samples, and finally the digital processing worked in the generation of panoramas with sequences of images acquired from the sample. Additionally, the total area from the sample was measured digitally, the segmentation and the measurement of delamination area were done, finding the ratio between the delamination area and the total area of the sample, and obtaining the value of percentage of delamination per section. Digitally, the obtained values for samples made with fibers obtained from Stick (Varillón), Top (Sobrebasa), Middle (Basa) parts and mixture of them were 16.97%, 9.96%, 5.96% and 8.64% respectively.

The fiber density per cross section of the Bamboo Guadua Angustifolia Kunth (GAK) was calculated by digital images processing. Three processes were done in the development of this work: preparation of the samples, digital pre-processing of the images acquired, and digital processing of the images acquired. For the preparation of the samples, the polishing with different abrasive papers and wool were done, and afterwards, it was added revealing ink on surface to make better the contrast between the fiber zones. The digital pre-processing of the images was based on the acquisition of sequences of images, doing a sweeping of the samples using an automatic plate. The digital processing consisted in the generation of panoramas with sequences of images acquired from the sample. The cross section fiber density was obtained by the calculus of the reason between digital measurement of the total area of the fibers and the total area of the sample. Finally, the values obtained for the fiber density were: 0.34, 0.41 and 0.43 for bottom, middle and top part of the culm respectively.

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.
