- Abstract:
-
In this paper,the authors study the method of gaining the percentage vegetation cover information,the correlation between percentage of vegetation cover and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in the south of Chongqing city,by TM data integrated with the field surveying data,and remote sensing interpretation software-ERDAS IMAGINE.The correlation between percentage of vegetation cover and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is analyzed by statistical method,the results show that there have obvious correlation,and the correlation coefficient is 0.948.The research provides the basic for calculating the percentage of vegetation cover in large area by interpreting TM image.
