abstract = "The aim of this paper is to present the Amazon Regional Center
activities based on the Institute missions. Most of the mapping
and monitoring projects from Amazon Program are fully developed on
the center. In this article two projects will be described:
mapping and monitoring land use and land cover areas (TerraClass)
and capacity building, for knowledge transference based on INPEs
experience on tropical forest monitoring. TerraClass aims to
qualify based on satellite images, already deforested areas of the
Amazon with biannual frequency. It evaluates the dynamic of land
use land cover comparing the changes between the years of 2008 and
2010. The project is developed in partnership with Embrapa
Oriental Amazon (CPATU) and Embrapa Information and Agriculture
(CNPTIA). Aiming to be considered an international center of
orbital technology diffusion on tropical forests monitoring, CRA
conducts international training courses, periodically held and
counting with specialized infrastructure and a wide number of
qualified consultants that minister theoretical and practical
classes in four different languages during the courses.",
