چکیده

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis morfológico de cobertura forestal en un lapso de doce años. Se emplearon dos imágenes multiespectrales LANDSAT TM-4 de los años 1989 y 2001. Estas imágenes cubren un área forestal donde han ocurrido cambios significativos en tales años. Estas imágenes fueron expandidas en términos de variables canónicas que describen la respuesta espacialespectral de las masas forestales. Las imágenes fueron modeladas como un campo vectorial de tantas dimensiones como bandas empleadas en el análisis. Se construyó un campo vectorial usando las bandas de variables canónicas.El conjunto de variables canónicas fue usado para cuantificar el cambio vectorial de las masas forestales. Este cambio vectorial cuantifica el grado de alteración de las masas forestales. Se empleó un algoritmo de crecimiento de regiones para segmentar las áreas ocupadas por el bosque. Este algoritmo emplea como entrada las variables canónicas. El resultado de tal segmentación es una imagen binaria llamada el bitmap. A partir de este bitmap, se llevó a cabo un análisis morfológico del área ocupada por el bosque. Se empleó un DEM generado a partir de un par interferométrico del satélite RADARSAT-1 para realizar una referencia cruzada con los bitmaps. Esta referencia cruzada conduce a la determinación de las elevaciones a las cuales ocurren los cambios de las masas forestales.

Human interventions in natural areas as a change in land use have led to a domino effect of anomalies and then environmental hazards. These extensive and cumulative changes in land cover and land use have manifested themselves in the form of anomalies such as the formation of severe runoff, soil erosion, the spread of desertification, and salinization of the soil. The main purpose of this study...
