Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to achieve the land use and vegetal cover mapping in “ Terra Indígena” (Indigenous Land) Sangradouro/Volta Grande – MT. The employed techniques consisted in applications of Linear Mixing Model, synthetic image segmentation and supervised classification of this segmented components. The computation of area corresponding to the use and vegetal cover class permitted to assess the actual situation of indigenous land in social and environmental context. Key Words: Remote Sensing; Geoprocessing; Linear Mixing Model; Land Use; Vegetation Cover.
