Time series of satellite images allows better monitoring and detecting the dynamics of urban growth. The objective of this research is to detect the urban area between the city of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in the period of 2014-2015 using MODIS digital time series. We used the product MOD13Q1 re...
