Aplicação de técnicas de detecção de mudanças no mapeamento do bioma cerrado no Alto Paranaíba

Abstract

The monitoring of natural resources has become the subject of great socio-environmental discussions in recent decades, requiring relevant information with a high degree of reliability. Remote sensing is at the center of environmental data generation, through multispectral captures, whether satellites or drones, demanding a high processing power and knowledge in the application of computational techniques of image processing. The application of remote sensing techniques, which cooperate with the processing of data acquired and stored over the years, is a way to generate information of interest. Thus, this work aims to use the detection of changes, applied to images acquired via satellite, from the Alto Paranaíba macro-region, in Minas Gerais, through the Google Earth Engine platform, which allows cloud processing, in search of results that may support future researches. Although not perfect, the methods showed positive results to some extent and may contribute to the mapping of the Cerrado.
