RESUMO

The use of orbital remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques represents significant advance for agriculture data surveying, considering its multispectral feature and repetitiveness. Its application for crop monitoring becomes more important, mainly with the possibility of using the sensors of high spatial, spectral, temporal and radiometric resolution. This work aimed the evaluation of the high spatial and radiometric resolutions from pancromatic images of IKONOS-II in the identification of coffee (Coffea arabica) planting areas, and its comparison to LANDSAT/ETM+ imagery. The study area is located in the city of Pedregulho, Taquari farm, where 50 coffee areas were selected. In each area it was collected information about plant?s features, like height, age, spacing and variety. The statistic analysis used to evaluate the data (from IKONOS-II panchromatic imagery and from LANDSAT/ETM+, bands 3, 4 and 5) was done using Tukey?s test and the correlation?s analysis. According to the accomplished analysis, the images showed to be efficient in the identification of coffee areas with different field features, and the calibrated IKONOS-II image showed the best results. Considering the areas with similar field features, both analyzed satellite images didn?t showed to be efficient in the coffee identification. The atmospheric and radiometric corrections applied on the IKONOS-II image didn?t improve the analysis results. More than the half of the identified areas in the IKONOS-II image could be found in the LANDSAT/ETM+ image (68%). The significant correlation between LANDSAT/ETM+ (bands 3, 4 and 5) and IKONOS-II panchromatic channel shows a link between both satellite images
