Karine Reis Ferreira

Researcher

Karine Reis Ferreira is PhD in Applied Computer by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), Brazil. She works at INPE since 2003 on researching in geoinformatics and on geographic information systems (GIS) development. She is professor of the Applied Computer Graduate Course at INPE and her main research topic is representation, processing and analysis of big spatiotemporal data and temporal GIS development.

Gilberto R. de Queiroz

Researcher

MSc. and PhD in Applied Computing from INPE, researcher at INPE’s since 2003 in geoinformatics developing geographic information systems (GIS). Since 2005, he has been an Associate Professor of spatial databases at INPE, focused on the development of geotechnologies.

Brazil Data Cube

The objective of the project is to create multidimensional data cubes ready for analysis from medium resolution images of Earth observation satellites, for the entire Brazilian territory and generate land use and land cover information from these data cubes using learning analysis and time series analysis of satellite images.
