ABSTRACT:
The purpose
of this work
is
the study of the
potential
of
use of
advanced
space
technology and the results which are easily identified by the population in general.
This work is meant to provide the public with images obtained by LANDSAT TM 5 satellite
in a didactic way. so as to allow a complete visualization of the physical space where
they live.
KEY WORDS: Cartographic, Education, Image Interpretation, Thematic, Visualization.
