MÉTODOS DE SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO APLICADOS À GEOMORFOLOGIA - METHODS IN REMOTESENSING APPLY IN GEOMORPHOLOGY

Abstract

The mean of this papper is to present the methodology used by SRTM products, like an essential tool toproducts in geomorphology. The mapping of Goiás State and Brasília D.C. from SIEG-GOIAS was usedlike example. The SRTM products were obtained by sensor SIR-C/X-SAR (Spaceborn Imaging RadarC-band/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) on board of Endeavour space shuttle, during 2000, to mappingthe relief topography just the 80º. N an S parallels. The results showed which the SRTM images have agood utility to geomorphologic mappings in small and middle scales, like this application in the Goiás state,Brazil.
