Remote sensing from satellite can be considered as one of the most important and affordable instruments for the management of land. It allows a powerful control of the territory, with low costs and automatic processing facilities. It is used with good results in different fields: agriculture, forestry, geology, hydrology, mapping, environment. In this paper, starting from available satellite data (TM and SPOT SX) and from panchromatic aerial flights at 1-meter resolution on the Abruzzo Italian administrative region, a detailed description of the procedures related to open pit monitoring and the analytical strategies followed has been presented. Furthermore an analysis of the suitability of satellite data and the performance of the different sensors for open pit areas monitoring is discussed.

Abstract
Remote sensing from satellite can be considered as one of the most important and affordable instruments for the management of land. It allows a powerful control of the territory, with low costs and automatic processing facilities. It is used with good results in different fields: agriculture, forestry, geology, hydrology, mapping, environment. In this paper, starting from available satellite data (TM and SPOT SX) and from panchromatic aerial flights at 1-meter resolution on the Abruzzo Italian administrative region, a detailed description of the procedures related to open pit monitoring and the analytical strategies followed has been presented. Furthermore an analysis of the suitability of satellite data and the performance of the different sensors for open pit areas monitoring is discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
