                         WorldView-2 satellite images and the free-access software 
                         InterIMAGE to map land cover in an urban coastal area. For the 
                         execution of this study, statistical data, information from public 
                         institutions and partner companies at this project, were used. 
                         Furthermore the following materials were utilized: 1. WorldView-2 
                         satellite scenes obtained in June 10th 2010, with 16º off-nadir 
                         angle, and 11 bit radiometric resolution, delivered by 
                         Digitalglobe; 2. Vector files of city blocks from the databank, 
                         from the Project called S{\~a}o Luis: reading the city; 3. Ground 
                         Control Points (GCP) in vector format, with 1 m equidistance, for 
                         the area corresponding to the municipality of S{\~a}o Luis, 
                         collected during field survey in August 2011, with TOPCON Hiper 
                         Geodetic GPS equipments; 4. Level curves in vector format from the 
                         area of S{\~a}o Luis municipality. The thematic maps were 
                         generated from both test sites using InterIMAGE v 1.27 software. 
                         It allowed a supervised analysis of the different attributes and 
                         to define the best ones and respective thresholds for the 
                         classification. The results of these classifications were verified 
                         by a confusion matrix. It is concluded that WorldView-2 images 
                         ease the identification of urban targets due to its new spectral 
                         bands, emphasizing its use for the discrimination of different 
                         vegetation types. InterIMAGE allowed a fast classification of 
                         image attributes and to use the image texture tool to improve the 
                         discrimination of classes.",
