Comparison the accuracies of different spectral indices for estimation of vegetation cover fraction in sparse vegetated areas

Quantitative estimation of canopy biophysical variables are very important in different studies such as meteorology, agriculture and ecology, so knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of these variables would be highly beneficial. Meanwhile, remote sensing is known as an important source...
