APLICACION DEL ANALISIS DE IMAGENES AL ESTUDIO DE PARÁMETROS MORFOMETRICOS DEL CORCHO

In this work we propose a method to study cork quality from little samples throug the analy- sis of images. This method has aplications in all studies that need cork quality determination. The digital analysis of images is an apropiate option due to makes morphometry automati- cally and it allows a quick manipulation of the results. It is a fast and objective method because allows the comparative study between a high number of samples; so it could be pos- sible to compare populations or individual in order to study the influence of some ambiental or getnetic factors and have another aproach to three's selection. Here we describe an digital analysis program based on IMAGE 1.41 VDMi software for Macintosh developed to measu- re severa1 cork morphometric parameters.
