Abstract

Preliminary results of a standardized procedure to delimit the estuarine zones are presented by means of a decision tree on histogram thresholds, taking as the object of study the Limarí River wetland, a RAMSAR site, using the satellite indices NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index), NDMI (Normalized Difference Moisture Index), VSSI (Vegetation Soil Salinity Index) and SWI (Salty Water Index); which identified its vegetation, hydrological and sedimentary components, contributing from 85.27% to 38.04% of the pixels in the final solution, in descending order. The results were optimized using a raster filter and vector selection, offering a new tool for the delimitation and discrimination of the lower estuary and the fluvial zone of this wetland.
