ASSESSMENT OF VEGETATION COVER OF TERRITORIES USING VARIOUS INDICES

This article develops an algorithm for classifying soil and vegetation cover using various indices. The study of the physiological stages of plant development is carried out by analyzing the distribution functions of spectral brightness values in the area covered by the image. The development of the soil-vegetation classification algorithm was performed by applying different indices. Usually, during scientific research, the problem of which index to use is more efficient arises. In order to overcome this problem, a comparative analysis of the results obtained with the application of the mentioned indices was carried out. To verify the accuracy of the used plant-soil classification algorithm, whole plant and whole soil parts were taken, this algorithm was tested and the results were recorded. The stages of the processing process are described here and the results of the corresponding calculations are presented
