The main purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of Timiș county based on spectral information obtained from Landstat 8 satellite imagery. The vegetation dynamic has been expressed differently from the normalized difference indices: NDVI, NDWI, NDSI, NDMI, NDBR and NDBI. With the help of the Arc Map software, one can create maps based on normalized difference indices. Each index has a certain representation: NDVI – vegetation, NDWI – water, NDSI – snow, NDMI – humidity, NDBR – potential of burning vegetation and NDBI – constructions. The presented results present a new, up-to-date method for monitoring the earth's surface based on geomatics technologies.
