Software for Landscape Metrics Mining - First Video

The characterization of landscape objects can vary when considering different spatial resolution and different deforestation patterns in the Amazonia. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the effects of spatial resolution and different deforestation patterns on the performance of landscape metrics. Deforestation maps from MODIS (250m) and TM (30m) sensors were used in this study. The experiments were performed in the region called "Terra do Meio", in São Félix do Xingu Municipality, Pará State in three different test areas for the same landscape metrics set. The results have shown, with good accuracy, that one can use similar landscape metrics sets, extracted from coarser spatial resolution images, to characterize landscape objects extracted from higher spatial resolution images and vice- versa.
