Abstract

In order to analyze the areas occupied by the invasive fern species Dicranopteris flexuosa between 2002 and 2014 in the Pati Valley (Brazil) multispectral satellite image classification techniques were used from the supervised classification algorithms Neural Networks and Maximum Likelihood. The results show that the species tends to spread rapidly, blocking the regeneration of native flora. The algorithm with the highest reliability for this was the Neural Networks.
