A paleta de cores RGB de cada classe da legenda está disponível também para o uso no ArcMap and QGIS.
The Legend code and color palette in CSV format for each class to ease its use in programs like R.
Transition Maps
The transition maps have codes calculated by joining the first and second year codes, according to the formula below:
(year1 x 100) + year2
This means:
- 303 = forest that remained forest
- 315 = forest that has been converted to pasture
- 1515 = pasture that remained pasture
- 1524 = pasture that has been converted to urban infrastructure
Deforestation and Secondary Vegetation
It allows to download maps and statistics of deforestation and regeneration. The value of each pixel is calculated using the following formula:
(“Classe do desmatamento”) * 100 + (“usage class id”)
This means:
- 115 = anthropic in the pasture class
- 203 = primary vegetation in the forest class
- 212 = primary vegetation in the class of countryside formations
- 303 = secondary vegetation in the forest class
- 404 = suppression of primary vegetation of the savanna class
- 503 = recovery for secondary vegetation for forest class
- 604 = suppression of secondary savanna vegetation
- 703 = transition noise (all classes above 700 should be disregarded)
Mining
the identification of codes for the legend can be seen mining data statistics table legend tab Collection 8.
Fire
The explanation of the pixel value meaning in the Legend Code.
Pasture Vigor
- Pasture Vigour – Low
- Pasture Vigour – Medium
- Pasture Vigour – High
Irrigation
It allows to download maps and statistics of deforestation and regeneration. The value of each pixel is calculated using the following formula:
Classe de Irrigação * 100 + (“usage class id”)
- Pivot Irrigation
- Irrigated rice
- Other irrigation system
