5. CONCLUSIONS
As for the analysis of spectral values, the spectral and spatial resolution of ASTER images allowed a detailed discrimination of land use/land cover classes, even considering the large thematic complexity of the area under study (spectral superposition and regenerative process).
Besides bands 2 (630-690 nm), 3 (760-860 nm) and 4 (1600- 1700 nm) which demonstrated its' utility for land use / land cover classification, we recommend the inclusion of bands 6 (2185-2225 nm) and 8 (2295-2365 nm), in order to complement the classification process.
