The land use and cover classifications in the MapBiomas collection are based on mosaics generated from Landsat imagery. For each of the evaluated years, a specific mosaic has been produced (1985-2021). Each mosaic is produced by the spatial integration of the different Landsat scenes present and by the temporal integration pixel by pixel. These time intervals were defined based on the strategy to improve the classification results.

Annual mosaics contain 156 bands which include: Landsat spectral bands, indices, and fractional metrics from the Mixture Spectral Model. Also, some topographic and elevation features were used. For more information, see item 3.1 of the ATBD General.
