ABSTRACT
Detecting the vegetation of land covers with plants and so are determined with the help of image using image
processing. Image processing is a common technique which can be used in the field of remote sensing. The
presence of vegetation has been detected from an image which can be captured and recorded from the ground
to detect the presence of vegetation in a particular region. In this paper, the presence of vegetation covering the
land by plants and most biotic elements of biosphere have been detected from the particular region through an
image. There are number of researches using the method of vegetation detection are using NIR images which
can be particularly suitable for detecting vegetation. Our method uses the features of an image from the visible
spectrum of color satellite images. Main intention is to identify the texture feature set for the problematic in
vegetation detection. The detection of vegetation is implemented using an algorithm called Normalised
Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).
Keywords : Image Analysis, Remote Sensing Images, NDVI, NIR and Vegetation Detection.
I. INTRODUCTION
Detection and analysis of vegetation from an image is
considered very important in the field of remote
sensing, where it has been used for detecting green
regions on the earth and detecting changes caused by
urbanization. It may be used to detect the changes
occurring in an environment decade by decade. The
suggested technique can be implemented with the multi
spectral remote sensing to find the spectral marks of
different object such as vegetation index, land cover
classification and the spatial distribution such as road,
urban area, agriculture land and water resources easily
taken by computing their NDVI method. The classified
object can be calculated with the help of generating
different threshold value of NDVI method by detecting
the false colour composite. The results show the NDVI
method is significantly useful for detecting the surface
of the visible area. The multispectral remote sensing
images carry essential integrating spectral and spatial
features of an objects. In this proposed system, the
satellite image has been taken to detect the vegetation
covering the land, water bodies, land cover classification
and to subsequently make these extracted features for
further analysis in order to avoid any sort of natural
disasters like flood.
There are two types of generic sensors that are for
collecting an information, named as passive and active
remote sensing. The passive remote sensing is used for
collecting all the satellite information and sun is only
one of the sources of energy, which is used to record
how much amount of electro-magnetic radiation that is
reflected or emitted from the earth's surface. Where the
