This form, Remote Sensins techniques together Digital Processing Images - DPI, are contributing to improve this problem. The Mathematical Morphology theory was used in this work. The principal function was the pruning operator. With its were extracted the interest features that can be used in cartographic process updating. The obtained results are positives and showed the use potential of mathematical morphology theory in cartography, mainly in updating.61-65porCartographics featureDigital image processingMathematical morphologyRemote sensinsUpdatingFeature extractionImage analysisMappingRemote sensingCartographic featuresCartographic process updatingPruning operatorsAirport runwaysArtigoAcesso restrito2-s2.0-3394749482391035450045071350000-0002-7069-0479
