Importância da matemática na construção de imagens obtidas por sensoriamento remoto: uma aplicação para o ensino médio

Abstract

The space race during the mid of the last century, triggered the development of technologies such as satellites, spacecraft and digital images. Initially used, these technologies were for military use, but studies with researchers in the use and applications of remote sensing could get a better environmental monitoring and more information about the Earth’s natural resources. With each passing day, this technology is more present in the lives of human beings, the digital cameras with increasingly sharper images also equipped laptops and cell phones, images captured by satellites and weather forecasts appear constantly in the news, and are easy to achieved. For these reasons it is important to disseminate these technologies and is one of the ways within the classroom, for mathematical content such as arrays, medium and functions can be easily found in the processing of digital images. Besides mathematics, other disciplines such as physics, biology, geography, history and chemistry can be worked using the digital images
