Abstract
An overview is provided of the use of remote sensors to monitor tropical forest coverage through vegetation indexes, mapping of forest coverage, and monitoring of its changes, as well as of the introduction of procedures to estimate forest density at the pixel level as a continuous spatial and temporal variable. Finally, a summary is presented of the important considerations for tropical forest coverage mapping processes with remote sensors.
