We present here a deep near-infrared survey using the infrared camera (CAMIV) at the telescope of the National Laboratory of Astrophysics (Brazil). The main aim of this project is to perform observations towards directions where we expect the bar ends at l ~ +23° and l ~ -14°, and towards the tangential direction to the Scutum's arm (l ~ 30.14° to 31.14° for -0.5° < b < 0.5°). The observations were taken in the filters J, H and K with resolution of 0.5 arc sec / pixel with a field of view of about 8×8 arcmin. The observed color-color and color-magnitude diagrams are compared with the results obtained from the Besançon Galaxy Model (BGM)in order to check the presence of a stellar overdensity at the bar ends, and to estimate distances from the color-magnitude diagrams.
