Description:	This work evaluates the influence of slope in the classification of remotely sensed images used to map coffee lands of the region of Três Pontas in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. A Landsat image from 07/16/2008, restaured to 10 m, was used for both, the visual classification, considered as reference map, and the supervised classification using the maximum likelihood algorithm, Maxver, available in the GIS SPRING. Slope information was obtained from SRTM data, which were segmented in classes with intervals of 4% of declivity. To assess the influence of slope in the supervised classification the two maps were overlaid in order to obtain a third map with the confusion areas, i.e. the areas which were classified as coffee plantations by the maxver algorithm but were not coffee in the reference map. This third map, with the confusion areas, was then overlaid onto the slope map. The results showed that most of the areas wrongly classified were at slopes classes of more than 12% of declivity, demonstrating the influence of the relief in the performance of the maxver classifier.
