Multitemporal, Moderate-Spatial-Resolution Remote Sensing of Modern Agricultural Production and Land Modification in the Brazilian Amazon

چکیده
We present an extensive review of the literature on remote sensing and land change in Amazonia as part of a call for new methods to study the recent expansion of mechanized annual cropping. Following the review is a presentation of the use of multitemporal Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 250-meter Vegetation Index (VI) data to study processes of intensification of mechanized agriculture in Vilhena, Rondônia, Brazil, an Amazonian soy-producing municipality. The case study shows that the high temporal resolution and moderate spatial resolution of the MODIS VI data hold promise for acquiring information necessary to answer important questions about mechanized agriculture and its relationship to

Ontology-Based Modeling of Land Change Trajectories in the Brazilian Amazon
Tropical deforestation is an example of geochange with massive impacts to the environment locally and globally. In the Brazilian Amazon deforestation has prevailed owing mostly to private investments in agricultural expansion, associated with large-scale cattle ranching, smallscale subsistence farming and soybeans expansion. Data on deforestation have been relied mostly on satellite remote sens...
متن کاملCombining of Magnitude and Direction of Change Indices to Unsupervised Change Detection in Multitemporal Multispectral Remote Sensing Images
In remote sensing, image-based change detection techniques, analyze two images acquired over the same area at different times t1 and t2 to identify the changes occurred on the Earth's surface. Change detection approaches are mainly categorized as supervised and unsupervised. Generating the change index is a key step for change detection in multi-temporal remote sensing images. Unsupervised chan...
