| Sumario: | Coffee, an important product in Brazilian exports, needs constant monitoring, so that systems and forecasting of existing crops can be reliable. Orbital imagery of medium spatial resolution are tools with great potential for land use mapping and identification of agricultural crops. This research evaluated the performance of the object based classification, applied in OLI/Landsat-8 images, with the purpose of mapping of coffee crops. Three analyzes were made, the first one using exclusively spectral attribute, the second one including textural attributes and the third also considering illumination classes. Six OLI/Landsat-8 multispectral images were used, representing three different coffee phenological stages: fructification, graining and rest. The validation of the classifications was performed by the Monte Carlo method using reference images obtained by visual interpretation. The classification using exclusively spectral attributes resulted an accuracy of 57% for coffee class. There was no phenological stage that provided greater accuracy to the coffee class in the automatic classification of OLI/Landsat-8 images. The results demonstrate that texture is important for coffee detection, thus visual interpretation remains an important step to minimize classification errors. |
